Although task-based functional MRI and single-seed
functional connectivity MRI have been extensively used
to study the disease, these methods show limited success
in simultaneously analyzing multiple brain circuits. In
current study, we use a recently developed method called
step-wise connectivity to identify the brain regions
that are responsible for the integration of memory
encoding and emotional processing networks. We
hypothesize abnormal interconnectivity between memory
and emotional processing networks that will be seen in
LLD will show recovery towards normal patterns remitted
patients.
