Résumé

Even with continuous antidepressant treatment, residual symptoms and the risk of relapse can persist in remitted major depressive disorder (MDD) patients. Hence, having a clear recognition of the persistent abnormalities of the underlying neural substrate in MDD through a longitudinal investigation is of great importance. A total of 127 adult medication-free MDD patients with an acute depressive episode and 118 matched healthy controls (HCs) underwent diffusion tensor imaging. Over a 6-month treatment course, 62 remitted patients underwent a second scan. Remission was defined as a 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD Significant FA reductions in the left insula, left middle occipital gyrus, right thalamus, left pallidum and left precuneus were observed in current MDD (cMDD) patients compared with HCs. Moreover, significant FA reductions in the left insula were observed in remitted (rMDD) patients compared to HCs. However, no significant differences in FA values were found when comparing cMDD and rMDD patients. The abnormalities in the insula showed state-independent characteristics, while the abnormalities in the middle occipital gyrus, thalamus, pallidum and precuneus seemed to be state-dependent impairments in MDD patients.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Even with continuous antidepressant treatment, residual symptoms and the risk of relapse can persist in remitted major depressive disorder (MDD) patients. Hence, having a clear recognition of the persistent abnormalities of the underlying neural substrate in MDD through a longitudinal investigation is of great importance.
METHODS METHODS
A total of 127 adult medication-free MDD patients with an acute depressive episode and 118 matched healthy controls (HCs) underwent diffusion tensor imaging. Over a 6-month treatment course, 62 remitted patients underwent a second scan. Remission was defined as a 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD
RESULTS RESULTS
Significant FA reductions in the left insula, left middle occipital gyrus, right thalamus, left pallidum and left precuneus were observed in current MDD (cMDD) patients compared with HCs. Moreover, significant FA reductions in the left insula were observed in remitted (rMDD) patients compared to HCs. However, no significant differences in FA values were found when comparing cMDD and rMDD patients.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
The abnormalities in the insula showed state-independent characteristics, while the abnormalities in the middle occipital gyrus, thalamus, pallidum and precuneus seemed to be state-dependent impairments in MDD patients.
