BMRMI Reduces Depressive Rumination Possibly through Improving Abnormal FC of Dorsal ACC

Figure 2

Aberrant functional connectivity of ACC subregions in MDD group and HCs group at baseline and after BMRMI. (a, b) The MDD group demonstrated increased functional connectivity between the right dACC and right SFG compared to the HC group at baseline (). The HC group demonstrated increased functional connectivity between the right dACC and right SFG after BMRMI treatment (). (c, d) The MDD group demonstrated decreased functional connectivity between the left dACC and right MFG after BMRMI treatment (). The HC group showed enhanced functional connectivity between the left dACC and right MFG after BMRMI treatment (). BMRMI: body-mind relaxation meditation induction; dACC: dorsal anterior cingulate; SFG: superior frontal gyrus; MFG: middle frontal gyrus; MDD: major depressive disorder; HC: healthy control; HAMD: Hamilton Depression Rating Scale; ATQ: Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire; RRS: Ruminative Responses Scale. ; .
