Children with euthymic bipolar disorder during an emotional go/nogo task: Insights into the neural circuits of cognitive-emotional regulation.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:Pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD), manifested by alternating episodes of depression and mania, is more likely to relapse than adult BD and develop into chronic BD. Although it can be asymptomatic during the remission of PBD, subtle changes in the brain neural response can still exist. Abnormal activities in the neural circuits of cognitive-emotional regulation have been found in adult BD patients using fMRI. However, few fMRI studies focus on emotional regulation on cognitive function in euthymic PBD, especially during an emotional go/nogo task. Therefore, this study aims to compare differences in the activities of both emotional and cognitive circuits between euthymic BD children and healthy controls. METHODS:18 euthymic PBD and 17 healthy subjects from 12 to 17 years of age were enrolled in our study. Simultaneous neural activity was recorded during the overall task and the effect of emotional factors on task performances was assessed. RESULTS:There were no significant differences in behavioral performances between the PBD group and the control group. During a task with emotional versus neutral distractors, euthymic PBD patients showed increased activities in the DLPFC, inferior parietal lobule, superior/middle frontal gyrus, superior/middle temporal gyrus, insula, posterior cingulate gyrus and posterior cerebellum lobe relative to healthy controls. The insula and DLPFC activities in response to emotional versus neutral distractors were positively associated with the differences in false response errors. CONCLUSIONS:This study confirms the enhanced neural activities in euthymic PBD during a task with emotional versus control distractors. These brain regions supporting the cognitive and emotional dysregulation of PBD mainly coincide with the salience and executive control networks. As neural responses are more sensitive than behavioral manifestations in euthymic PBD, our findings will inspire more clinical studies to unveil the characteristic neuromechanism of PBD.
