Altered brain complexity in first-episode antipsychotic-naïve patients with schizophrenia: A whole-brain voxel-wise study
Background
Measures of cortical topology are believed to characterize large-scale cortical networks. Previous studies used region of interest (ROI)-based approaches with predefined templates that limit analyses to linear pair-wise interactions between regions. As cortical topology is inherently complex, a non-linear dynamic model that measures the brain complexity at the voxel level is suggested to characterize topological complexities of brain regions and cortical folding.
Methods
T1-weighted brain images of 150 first-episode antipsychotic-naïve schizophrenia (FES) patients and 161 healthy comparison participants (HC) were examined. The Chaos analysis approach was applied to detect alterations in brain structural complexity using the largest Lyapunov exponent (Lambda) as the key measure. Then, the Lambda spatial series was mapped in the frequency domain using the correlation of the Morlet wavelet to reflect cortical folding complexity.
Results
A widespread voxel-wise decrease in Lambda values in space and frequency domains was observed in FES, especially in frontal, parietal, temporal, limbic, basal ganglia, thalamic, and cerebellar regions. The widespread decrease indicates a general loss of brain topological complexity and cortical folding. An additional pattern of increased Lambda values in certain regions highlights the redistribution of complexity measures in schizophrenia at an early stage with potential progression as the illness advances. Strong correlations were found between the duration of untreated psychosis and Lambda values related to the cerebellum, temporal, and occipital gyri.
Conclusions
Our findings support the notion that defining brain complexity by non-linear dynamic analyses offers a novel approach for identifying structural brain alterations related to the early stages of schizophrenia.
期刊介绍：
NeuroImage: Clinical, a journal of diseases, disorders and syndromes involving the Nervous System, provides a vehicle for communicating important advances in the study of abnormal structure-function relationships of the human nervous system based on imaging.
The focus of NeuroImage: Clinical is on defining changes to the brain associated with primary neurologic and psychiatric diseases and disorders of the nervous system as well as behavioral syndromes and developmental conditions. The main criterion for judging papers is the extent of scientific advancement in the understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of diseases and disorders, in identification of functional models that link clinical signs and symptoms with brain function and in the creation of image based tools applicable to a broad range of clinical needs including diagnosis, monitoring and tracking of illness, predicting therapeutic response and development of new treatments. Papers dealing with structure and function in animal models will also be considered if they reveal mechanisms that can be readily translated to human conditions.
