Shrnutí: | Background: Multivariate data-driven statistical approaches offer the opportunity to study multi-dimensional interdependences between a large set of biological parameters, such as high-dimensional brain imaging data. For gyrification, a putative marker of early neurodevelopment, direct comparisons of patterns among multiple psychiatric disorders and investigations of potential heterogeneity of gyrification within one disorder and a transdiagnostic characterization of neuroanatomical features are lacking.
Methods: In this study we used a data-driven, multivariate statistical approach to analyze cortical gyrification in a large cohort of N = 1028 patients with major psychiatric disorders (Major depressive disorder: n = 783, bipolar disorder: n = 129, schizoaffective disorder: n = 44, schizophrenia: n = 72) to identify cluster patterns of gyrification beyond diagnostic categories.
Results: Cluster analysis applied on gyrification data of 68 brain regions (DK-40 atlas) identified three clusters showing difference in overall (global) gyrification and minor regional variation (regions). Newly, data-driven subgroups are further discriminative in cognition and transdiagnostic disease risk factors.
Conclusions: Results indicate that gyrification is associated with transdiagnostic risk factors rather than diagnostic categories and further imply a more global role of gyrification related to mental health than a disorder specific one. Our findings support previous studies highlighting the importance of association cortices involved in psychopathology. Explorative, data-driven approaches like ours can help to elucidate if the brain imaging data on hand and its a priori applied grouping actually has the potential to find meaningful effects or if previous hypotheses about the phenotype as well as its grouping have to be revisited. |
