Decreased Resting-State Interhemispheric Functional Connectivity Correlated with Neurocognitive Deficits in Drug-Naive First-Episode Adolescent-Onset Schizophrenia

BACKGROUND: Given that adolescence is a critical epoch in the onset of schizophrenia, studying aberrant brain changes in adolescent-onset schizophrenia, particularly in patients with drug-naive first-episode schizophrenia, is important to understand the biological mechanism of this disorder.

description BACKGROUND: Given that adolescence is a critical epoch in the onset of schizophrenia, studying aberrant brain changes in adolescent-onset schizophrenia, particularly in patients with drug-naive first-episode schizophrenia, is important to understand the biological mechanism of this disorder. Previous resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging studies have shown abnormal functional connectivity in separate hemispheres in patients with adult-onset schizophrenia. Our aim to study adolescent-onset schizophrenia can provide clues for the early aetiology of schizophrenia. METHOD: A total of 48 drug-naïve, first-episode, adolescent-onset schizophrenia outpatients and 31 healthy controls underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans. Data were subjected to voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity and support vector machine analyses. RESULTS: Compared with the healthy controls, the adolescent-onset schizophrenia group showed significantly lower voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity values in different brain regions, including the fusiform gyrus, superior temporal gyrus/insula, precentral gyrus, and precuneus. Decreased voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity values in the superior temporal gyrus/insula were significantly correlated with Trail-Making Test: Part A performance (r = −0.437, P = .002). A combination of the voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity values in the precentral gyrus and precuneus may be used to discriminate patients with adolescent-onset schizophrenia from controls with satisfactory classification results, which showed sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 87.09%, and accuracy of 94.93%. CONCLUSION: Our findings highlight resting-state interhemispheric FC abnormalities within the sensorimotor network of patients with adolescent-onset schizophrenia and confirm the relationship between adolescent-onset schizophrenia and adult-onset schizophrenia. These findings suggest that reduced interhemispheric connectivity within the sensorimotor network has a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.
