IDA serves to test hypotheses by combining data of the same construct from commensurate (but not identical) measures. To overcome idiosyncrasies of neuroimaging data, IDA explicitly evaluates if measures across studies assess the same construct. Moreover, IDA allows investigators to examine meaningful individual variability by de-confounding source-specific differences. To demonstrate IDA’s potential, we explain foundational concepts, outline necessary steps, and apply IDA to volumetric measures of hippocampal subfields from 443 4- to 17-year-olds across three independent studies. We identified commensurate measures of Cornu Ammonis (CA) 1, dentate gyrus (DG)/CA3, and Subiculum (Sub). Model testing supported use of IDA to create IDA factor scores.

The brain's multifaceted functions hinge crucially on the intricate connections and communication among distinct regions. However, the intricate interaction of information between brain regions with altered GMV and other regions, and how they synchronize with various neurotransmitter systems, remains enigmatic. Therefore, we aimed to integrate structural, functional and molecular data to explore the GMV-based Granger causal connectivity abnormalities and their correlated neurotransmitter systems in IGD adolescents. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis was firstly performed to investigate GMV differences between 37 IGD adolescents and 35 matched controls. Brain regions with altered GMV were selected as seeds for further Granger causality analysis (GCA). Two-sample <em>t</em> tests were performed using the SPM12 toolkit to compare the GMV and Granger causal connectivity between IGD and control groups (GRF corrected, <em>P</em><sub>voxel</sub><0.005, <em>P</em><sub>cluster</sub><0.05). Then, GMV-based Granger causal connectivity was spatially correlated with PET- and SPECT-derived maps covering multifarious neurotransmitter systems. Multiple comparison correction was performed using false discovery rate (FDR). Compared with controls, IGD adolescents showed higher GMV in the caudate nucleus and lingual gyrus. For the GCA, IGD adolescents showed higher Granger causal connectivity from insula, putamen, supplementary motor area (SMA) and middle cingulum cortex (MCC) to the caudate nucleus, and lower Granger causal connectivity from superior/inferior parietal gyrus (SPG/IPG) and middle occipital gyrus (MOG) to the lingual gyrus. Besides, GMV-based Granger causal connectivity of IGD adolescents were associated with the dopaminergic, serotonergic, GABAergic and noradrenaline systems. This study revealed that the caudate nucleus and lingual gyrus may be the key sites of neuroanatomical changes in IGD adolescents, and whole-brain Granger causal connectivity abnormalities based on altered GMV involved large brain networks including reward, cognitive control, and visual attention networks, and these abnormalities are associated with a variety of neurotransmitter systems, which may be associated with higher reward sensitivity, cognitive control, and attention control dysfunction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49083,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience","volume":"70 ","pages":"Article 101472"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142561524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
