Key Points

This research aims to identify differences in brain connectivity and glucose metabolism between adolescents with bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder.
Participants included 14 adolescents with bipolar disorder and 14 with major depressive disorder.
Simultaneous PET and MRI imaging was performed to assess functional and structural connectivity.
A multiple linear regression model analyzed the correlation between structural and functional connectivity.
The bipolar disorder group exhibited reduced structural-functional connectivity coupling and lower glucose metabolism in the thalamus compared to the major depressive disorder group.
Positive correlation (r = 0.70) between structural-functional connectivity in the paracentral lobule and metabolism was observed in the bipolar disorder group.
Negative correlation (r = -0.73) in the cingulate gyrus was found in the major depressive disorder group.

We only have this paper's title and publication details.
