[HTML][HTML] Distinct insular functional connectivity changes related to mood and fatigue improvements in major depressive disorder following tai chi training: A pilot study
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2020•frontiersin.org
Objective: Tai chi (TC), a contemplative practice combining slow movements and deep
breathing, has been shown to be clinically effective in alleviating depressive symptoms.
Feelings of fatigue or low vitality often accompany major depressive disorder (MDD) though
they are commonly overlooked and not well understood neurologically. By using resting
state functional connectivity (rs-FC) using the insula as the seed, this study examines the
relationship between mood and vitality symptoms in MDD and how they are impacted by TC …

Objective: Tai chi (TC), a contemplative practice combining slow movements and deep breathing, has been shown to be clinically effective in alleviating depressive symptoms. Feelings of fatigue or low vitality often accompany major depressive disorder (MDD) though they are commonly overlooked and not well understood neurologically. By using resting state functional connectivity (rs-FC) using the insula as the seed, this study examines the relationship between mood and vitality symptoms in MDD and how they are impacted by TC training.
Methods: Patients (N = 16) with MDD participated in a 10-week TC intervention. Self-report scores of vitality (using the SF-36 scale) and depressed mood (using the Beck Depression Inventory) as well as rs-fMRI were collected pre- and post-intervention. A seed-to-voxel approach was used to test whether changes in insular rs-FC were related to therapeutic improvement in MDD-related symptoms resulting from TC practice.
Results: We found decreased self-reported depressed mood and increased vitality following the TC intervention. Furthermore, decreases in depressed mood were associated with increased rs-FC between the right anterior insula (AIC) and superior temporal gyrus and caudate (cluster-corrected p < 0.05). Increased vitality was associated with increased rs-FC between the right posterior insula (PIC) and regions associated with sensorimotor processes (cluster-corrected p < 0.05).
Conclusion: These results provide support for differential changes in insula connectivity as neural correlates of symptom improvement in MDD.
