In this study, we combined Independent Component
Analysis (ICA) and seed based connectivity analysis to
study the posterior DMN network between patients and
normal controls, as well as pre-treatment and
post-treatment conditions. Our results showed
significant difference of the posterior default mode
sub-network between major depression patients and normal
controls. Specifically, normal controls exhibited higher
connectivity between PCC and frontal/temporal regions.
The treatment does improve the connectivity strength of
patients, especially in the anti-correlated network.
These differences were unlikely induced by difference in
head motion.
