Abstract
Aims
Neurodevelopmental impairments are closely linked to the basis of adolescent major psychiatric disorders (MPDs). The visual cortex can regulate neuroplasticity throughout the brain during critical periods of neurodevelopment, which may provide a promising target for neuromodulation therapy. This cross-species translational study examined the effects of visual cortex repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on neurodevelopmental impairments in MPDs.
Methods
Visual cortex rTMS was performed in both adolescent methylazoxymethanol acetate (MAM) rats and patients with MPDs. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and brain tissue proteomic data in rats and fMRI and clinical symptom data in patients were analyzed.
Results
The regional homogeneity (ReHo) analysis of fMRI data revealed an increase in the frontal cortex and a decrease in the posterior cortex in the MAM rats, representing the abnormal neurodevelopmental pattern in MPDs. In regard to the effects of rTMS, similar neuroimaging changes, particularly reduced frontal ReHo, were found both in MAM rats and adolescent patients, suggesting that rTMS may reverse the abnormal neurodevelopmental pattern. Proteomic analysis revealed that rTMS modulated frontal synapse-associated proteins, which may be the underpinnings of rTMS efficacy. Furthermore, a positive relationship was observed between frontal ReHo and clinical symptoms after rTMS in patients.
Conclusion
Visual cortex rTMS was proven to be an effective treatment for adolescent MPDs, and the underlying neural and molecular mechanisms were uncovered. Our study provides translational evidence for therapeutics targeting the neurodevelopmental factor in MPDs.
