Abstract

Psychological pain increases the risk of suicidal ideas and acts, and represents a potential therapeutic target. However, the mechanisms of mental pain remain unclear. Here, we assessed the peripheral transcriptomic and central neural correlates of mental pain during a depressive episode. 172 adult un-medicated depressed patients were recruited. Leucocytes were extracted for RNA quantification at baseline (T0) and after 8 weeks (T8) of an antidepressant treatment. Ninety-nine genes of the cortisol, immune, opioid, serotonergic, and kynurenine systems were a priori selected, and 41 were sufficiently expressed to be analyzed. At both T0 and T8, mean level of mental pain over the last 15 days was measured with a visual analog scale. A subset of 38 patients was additionally scanned with Magnetic Resonance Imaging at T0. Resting-state sequences of 4 networks (default-mode, basal ganglia, central executive, salience) were examined. Mean psychological pain scores significantly decreased between T0 and T8. At conservative p-corrected levels, T0 mental pain was significantly correlated with 11 brain clusters encompassing the prefrontal, parietal, and temporal cortices, the striatum, and the cerebellum. There was no direct association be...Continue Reading

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
