This study found that patients with bipolar I disorder (BP-I) have decreased gray matter volume (GMV) in the cerebellum and disrupted cerebellar-cortex resting-state functional connectivity (FC). This suggests that cerebellar abnormalities may play an important role in the pathogenesis of BP-I.
Background: Bipolar disorder (BP) is a common psychiatric disorder characterized by extreme fluctuations in mood. Recent studies have indicated the involvement of cerebellum in the pathogenesis of BP. However, no study has focused on the precise role of cerebellum exclusively in patients with bipolar I disorder (BP-I). Methods: Forty-five patients with BP-I and 40 healthy controls were recruited. All subjects underwent clinical evaluation and Magnetic Resonance diffusion Tension Imaging scans. For structural images, we used a spatially unbiased infratentorial template toolbox to isolate the cerebellum and then preformed voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analyses to assess the difference in cerebellar gray matter volume (GMV) between the two groups. For the functional images, we chose the clusters that survived from VBM analysis as seeds and performed functional connectivity (FC) analysis. Between-group differences were assessed using the independent Students t test or the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U Test. For multiple comparisons, the results were further corrected with Gaussian random field (GRF) approach (voxel-level P < 0.001, cluster-level P < 0.05). Results: Compared with healthy controls, BP-I patients showed significantly decreased GMV in left lobule V and left lobule VI (P < 0.05, GRF corrected). The FC of cerebellum with bilateral superior temporal gyrus, bilateral insula, bilateral rolandic operculum, right putamen, and left precentral gyrus was disrupted in BP-I patients (P < 0.05, GRF corrected). Conclusions: BP-I patients showed decreased cerebellar GMV and disrupted cerebellar-cortex resting-state FC. This suggests that cerebellar abnormalities may play an important role in the pathogenesis of BP-I.
