Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder have common neuroimaging characteristics. This study found different alterations in hippocampal subregions among these disorders, providing evidence for the different functions of these subregions in psychiatric pathology.
Schizophrenia (SZ), bipolar disorder (BD), and major depressive disorder (MDD) share etiological and pathophysiological characteristics. Although neuroimaging studies have reported hippocampal alterations in SZ, BD, and MDD, little is known about how different hippocampal subregions are affected in these conditions because such subregions, namely, the cornu ammonis (CA), dentate gyrus (DG), and subiculum (SUB), have different structural foundations and perform different functions. Here, we hypothesize that different hippocampal subregions may reflect some intrinsic features among the major psychiatric disorders, such as SZ, BD, and MDD. By investigating resting functional connectivity (FC) of each hippocampal subregion among 117 SZ, 103 BD, 96 MDD, and 159 healthy controls, we found similarly and distinctly changed FC of hippocampal subregions in the three disorders. The abnormal functions of middle frontal gyrus might be the core feature of the psychopathological mechanisms of SZ, BD, and MDD. Anterior cingulate cortex and inferior orbital frontal gyrus might be the shared abnormalities of SZ and BD, and inferior orbital frontal gyrus is also positively correlated with depression and anxiety symptoms in SZ and BD. Caudate might be the unique feature of SZ and showed a positive correlation with the cognitive function in SZ. Middle temporal gyrus and supplemental motor area are the differentiating features of BD. Our study provides evidence for the different functions of different hippocampal subregions in psychiatric pathology.
