Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied white matter abnormalities in patients with schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder by MRI diffusion tensor image / anisotropy factor FA, resting function MRI / functional connectivity analysis, T1 / T2 ratio myelin weighted image. In schizophrenia, myelin injury was confirmed in a wide range, and the blood ω - 3 fatty acid correlated with cognitive functions. Both bipolar disorder and major depression, decrease FA values were found in anterior part of corpus callosum frontal lobe which connect both prefrontal cortices. In major depression, FA value correlated with executive function and attention function. In bipolar disorder, interhemispheric functional connectivity dysfunction in the sensorimotor area is associated with the FA value in the corpus callosum and functional within-connectivity was related to Young Mania-Rating Scale. The next task is to improve the neural network by rTMS, ω3 fatty acid and confirm the therapeutic effect.
