Different duration of at-risk mental state associated with neurofunctional abnormalities. A multimodal imaging study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Neurofunctional alterations are correlates of vulnerability to psychosis, as well as of the disorder itself. How these abnormalities relate to different probabilities for later transition to psychosis is unclear. We investigated vulnerability- versus disease-related versus resilience biomarkers of psychosis during working memory (WM) processing in individuals with an at-risk mental state (ARMS).

Experimental design

Patients with "first-episode psychosis" (FEP, n = 21), short-term ARMS (ARMS-ST, n = 17), long-term ARMS (ARMS-LT, n = 16), and healthy controls (HC, n = 20) were investigated with an n-back WM task. We examined functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) data in conjunction using biological parametric mapping (BPM) toolbox.

Principal observations

There were no differences in accuracy, but the FEP and the ARMS-ST group had longer reaction times compared with the HC and the ARMS-LT group. With the 2-back > 0-back contrast, we found reduced functional activation in ARMS-ST and FEP compared with the HC group in parietal and middle frontal regions. Relative to ARMS-LT individuals, FEP patients showed decreased activation in the bilateral inferior frontal gyrus and insula, and in the left prefrontal cortex. Compared with the ARMS-LT, the ARMS-ST subjects showed reduced activation in the right inferior frontal gyrus and insula. Reduced insular and prefrontal activation was associated with gray matter volume reduction in the same area in the ARMS-LT group.

Conclusions

These findings suggest that vulnerability to psychosis was associated with neurofunctional alterations in fronto-temporo-parietal networks in a WM task. Neurofunctional differences within the ARMS were related to different duration of the prodromal state and resilience factors.

Project description:ImportanceAlthough retinal multimodal imaging is needed for diagnosing reticular pseudodrusen (RPD), the incidence of RPD in the general population typically has been assessed only using fundus photographs, which may underestimate their incidence.ObjectivesTo describe the incidence of RPD using retinal color photographs, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography scans, fundus autofluorescence, and near-infrared reflectance images among individuals 77 years of age or older and to analyze the associated risk factors of RPD.Design, setting, and participantsThe ALIENOR (Antioxydants, Lipides Essentiels, Nutrition et Maladies Oculaires) Study is a cohort of French individuals 77 years of age or older. Data for this study were collected between February 22, 2011, and February 15, 2017, with a mean (SD) follow-up of 3.7 (1.0) years (range, 1.2-5.6 years). At baseline, 501 individuals were eligible to participate. Of 1002 eyes, 197 had prevalent RPD, advanced age-related macular degeneration, or ungradable images. Of the remaining 805 eyes, 333 were missing follow-up data; therefore, the statistical analyses included data from 472 eyes. Data management and statistical analyses were performed between March 15, 2017, and April 5, 2019.Main outcomes and measuresReticular pseudodrusen were considered as present if detected by at least 2 of the following imaging methods: color fundus photographs, fundus autofluorescence, near-infrared reflectance, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images.ResultsOf the 472 eyes analyzed, 263 (55.7%) were from female participants, and the mean (SD) age was 81.9 (3.2) years. Forty-three eyes developed RPD, corresponding to an annual incidence rate of 2.9% (95% CI, 1.9%-4.4%) per participant and an estimated 5-year risk of 13.5%. In multivariable analysis, 4 risk factors of incident RPD were identified: subfoveal choroidal thinning (hazard ratio [HR], 0.99; 95% CI, 0.99-1.00 per 10-?m decrease in thickness; P?=?.02) and the presence of the minor allelic variants rs10490924 for ARMS2 (HR, 3.57; 95% CI, 1.80-7.10; P?<?.001), rs1061170 for CFH (HR, 2.12; 95% CI, 1.02-4.41; P?=?.04), and rs10468017 for LIPC (HR, 2.57; 95% CI, 1.37-4.82; P?=?.003). Lipophilic statin therapy was associated with a lower incidence of RPD (HR, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.02-0.74; P?=?.02).Conclusions and relevanceWith the use of multimodal imaging, the RPD incidence rate was higher than previously reported in other population-based studies using fundus color images. Individuals with subfoveal choroidal thinning or carrying minor allelic variants for ARMS2, CFH, or LIPC had an increased risk for RPD, whereas lipophilic statin therapy was associated with a lower incidence.
