fNIRS evidence of abnormal frontotemporal cortex activation and functional connectivity in depressed patients after stroke: neuromodulatory mechanisms from mild to moderate depress... by Shanshan Zhou, Xiaodie Liu, Mengyuan Chen, Wenyi Chen, Yawen Pan, Yinghao Zhi

“…This research was designed to evaluate whether fNIRS signals can differentiate different degrees of PSD and explore the pathogenesis behind PSD.MethodsWe recruited 56 stroke patients treated at the Wenzhou TCM Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University and stratified them into three groups according to PSD severity: non-PSD (n = 18), mild-PSD (n = 19), and moderate-PSD (n = 19). fNIRS was employed to monitor frontotemporal cortical activity while administering a verbal fluency task across all participant groups. Differences in hemodynamic activity and functional connectivity across six frontotemporal cortex subregions were examined in three patient groups, and their correlations with 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) scores were evaluated.ResultsIn terms of brain activation, the moderate-PSD group demonstrated significantly diminished activation in four particular brain regions in comparison to the non-PSD group (p < 0.05): the bilateral medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), the ipsilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and the contralateral temporal lobe (TL), and the activation intensity within these regions was negatively associated with HAMD-17 scores (L-mPFC: rs = −0.315, p = 0.018; R-mPFC: r = −0.377, p = 0.004; L-DLPFC: r = −0.323, p = 0.015; R-TL: r = −0.401, p = 0.002). …”
