Neuroimaging research has indicated that individuals with OCD typically exhibit altered cortical thickness (CTh) through surface-based morphometry (SBM) analyses. Yet, the findings have been hit or miss, with inconsistent results across various studies. We are employing meta-analytic techniques on comprehensive brain imaging data to examine variations in CTh in patients with OCD. This approach could refine spatial precision in detection, thereby sharpening our diagnostic capabilities for OCD and paving the way for more targeted therapeutic interventions. The seed-based d mapping (SDM) method was utilized to perform a vertex-wise, coordinate-based meta-analysis (CBMA) examining CTh differences across whole-brain studies in OCD patients relative to healthy controls (HCs). This analytical approach systematically compared structural neuroimaging findings between clinical and control groups. A comprehensive review of existing research uncovered 9 relevant studies (containing 9 distinct datasets) examining CTh in OCD. The analysis incorporated data from 518 OCD patients and 449 HCs. The findings revealed significant cortical thinning in the left anterior cingulate and paracingulate gyri, along with the right insula among OCD patients. Conversely, increased CTh was observed in several left-hemisphere regions, including the lingual gyrus, orbital portion of the inferior frontal gyrus, and dorsolateral aspect of the superior frontal gyrus. Moreover, the meta-regression results indicated an inverse relationship between age and the thickness of the right insula cortex in those suffering from OCD. However, the analysis was constrained by the small pool of studies and samples, as well as incomplete data from certain participants, which hindered a thorough subgroup examination. Additionally, the results of the meta-regression should be viewed with caution, as they are based on a relatively limited number of studies. The analysis did show changes in CTh in certain brain areas for OCD patients, which adds to our knowledge of the intricate workings of OCD-related brain abnormalities. These insights could potentially serve as valuable landmarks for diagnosing and treating OCD.

Furthermore, the z-VMHC value of MTG and MOG was positively correlated with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score of the follow-up. Therefore, z-VMHC values within the MTG, MOG, and STG appeared to be potential neuroimaging features to distinguish pPD patients from sPD groups.

This systematic review synthesizes findings of previous tract-based spatial statistics studies to identify the white matter alterations in adult brains exposed to early life adversity, in papers with methodological consistency. The literature search (April 2024) was conducted to identify tract-based spatial statistics studies that compared diffusion metrics between adults exposed to early life adversity and adults not. Embase, Pubmed, and PsycInfo were searched, retrieving 2458 articles. Following deduplication, 1739 titles and/or abstracts were screened. 1699 articles were excluded, and 40 full texts were reviewed. Seven articles, reporting on 764 subjects, met the inclusion criteria and were included in the narrative synthesis. Compared to controls, adults exposed to early life adversity showed lower fractional anisotropy values in white matter tracts of the limbic and visual processing systems, specifically the anterior thalamic radiation, inferior longitudinal fasciculus, corona radiata, uncinate fasciculus, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, and cingulum bundle. This systematic review highlights that early life adversity may underlie emotional dysregulation and contribute to an increased risk of psychopathology in later life and explores the potential neurobiological mechanisms that underpin these structural changes.

This phenomenon has been extensively studied in various psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia (SCHZ), bipolar disorder II (BIPOL), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Understanding the relationship between cognitive dysmetria and functional connectivity in these disorders would reveal significant insights into their neurobiological underpinnings. This study explores how distinct and similar functional network connectivity (FNC) patterns between brain regions are associated with clinical symptoms and trait assessments across SCHZ, BIPOL, and ADHD patients by examining both working memory and task-free conditions compared to healthy volunteers (HC). Leveraging an open-source fMRI dataset from the UCLA Consortium for Neuropsychiatric Phenomics, we analyzed FNC patterns across 115 default mode and salience network regions, including cortical, subcortical, and cerebellar regions of interest in 135 participants (39 HC, 27 SCHZ patients, 38 BIPOL patients, and 31 ADHD patients). Abnormal FNC patterns compared to HC were localized to the cerebellar, thalamic, striatal, hippocampal, medial prefrontal and anterior insular cortices. Post-hoc multiple comparison analysis showed abnormal network connectivity predominantly in SCHZ and ADHD patients during rest, while the task condition demonstrated differential effects across all three disorders. Statistical analysis using a factor-by-covariance approach (GLM MANCOVA) suggested that regional functional connectivity was associated with select symptoms and traits pointing to neural signatures underlying psychiatric conditions.
