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

Figure 3

The correlation between the aberrant seed-based functional connectivity and clinical measurements at baseline. (a) Brain regions showed an aberrant functional connectivity of the right dACC with right SFG between MDD group and HCs group at baseline. (b–d) The voxel-wise correlation analyses revealed that a stronger FC between the right dACC and right SFG was correlated with higher HAMD, ATQ, and RRS scores in all participants at baseline. dACC: dorsal anterior cingulate; SFG: superior frontal gyrus; MDD: major depressive disorder; HC: healthy control; HAMD: Hamilton Depression Rating Scale; ATQ: Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire; RRS: Ruminative Responses Scale.
