Abstract

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with childhood trauma is one of the functional subtypes of depression. Frequency-dependent changes in the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) have been reported in MDD patients. However, there are few studies on ALFF about MDD with childhood trauma. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure the ALFF in 69 MDD patients with childhood trauma (28.7 ± 9.6 years) and 30 healthy subjects (28.12 ± 4.41 years). Two frequency bands (slow-5: 0.010–0.027 Hz; slow-4: 0.027–0.073 Hz) were analyzed. Compared with controls, the MDD with childhood trauma had decreased ALFF in left S1 (Primary somatosensory cortex), and increased ALFF in left insula. More importantly, significant group × frequency interactions were found in right dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC). Our finding may provide insights into the pathophysiology of MDD with childhood trauma.
