This is the largest voxel-based meta-analysis conducted to date of amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) studies in major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD). MDD and BD show a common pattern of aberrant regional intrinsic brain activity which predominantly includes the insula, medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and cerebellum. These results expand on a growing literature exploring resting-state activity in MDD and BD, which provide useful insights for understanding the underlying pathophysiology of brain dysfunction in affective disorders, and developing more targeted and efficacious treatment and intervention strategies.
