Functional dysconnectivity in reward-related circuits in adolescents with major depressive disorder with and without suicidal ideation

The identified functional dysconnectivities in reward-related circuits, particularly the FCs between the NAc and both the frontal pole and superior parietal lobule, may be implicated in the manifestation of suicidality among adolescents with MD. However, the lack of significant associations for DLPFC- and VTA-seeded FC in adolescent MDSI requires further elucidation.
