Abstract

AbstractNeuroimaging evidence implicates structural network-level abnormalities in bipolar disorder (BD); however, there remain conflicting results in the current literature hampered by sample size limitations and clinical heterogeneity. Here, we set out to perform a multisite graph theory analysis to assess the extent of neuroanatomical dysconnectivity in a large representative study of individuals with BD.This cross-sectional multicenter international study assessed structural and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging data obtained from 109 subjects with BD type 1 and 103 psychiatrically healthy volunteers.Whole-brain metrics, permutation-based statistics, and connectivity of highly connected nodes were used to compare network-level connectivity patterns in individuals with BD compared with controls.The BD group displayed longer characteristic path length, a weakly connected left frontotemporal network, and increased rich-club dysconnectivity compared with healthy controls.Our multisite findings implicate emotion and reward networks dysconnectivity in bipolar illness and may guide larger scale global efforts in understanding how human brain architecture impacts mood regulation in BD.
