Retraction reveals invalid findings on dynamic connectivity in overweight individuals with depression, suggesting ethical compliance issues.
RETRACTION: Zhang , Z.‐Q. , Liao , D. , Guo , Z.‐P. , Song , S.‐S. , and Liu , X.‐J. . Journal of Neuroscience Research 102 , no. ( 2024 ): , https://doi.org/10.1002/jnr.70001 . The above article, published online on 29 November 2024 in Wiley Online Library ( wileyonlinelibrary.com ), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor‐in‐Chief, Lawrence S. Sherman; and Wiley Periodicals, LLC. The retraction has been agreed upon after the authors informed the editors that their findings on dynamic functional network connectivity, as presented in Figures 3‐7, were not adequately independently validated, thereby undermining the reliability and reproducibility of the results. Furthermore, their ethical approval process was not fully compliant with the standard guidelines. The corresponding author contacted the journal and asked for a retraction, but the authors did not respond when asked to agree to the final retraction wording. The editors consider the results and conclusion of this article to be invalid.
