Implicit social animations lead to distinct changes of dopaminergic, corticostriatal and thalamocortical functional connectivity in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder
The unique patterns of altered connectivity in SCZ (imbalance between striatothalamic and thalamocortical connectivity), and BPD, while sharing a common pattern of increase between VTA and dorsal striatum, may represent candidate biomarkers of pathophysiological significance, or as biological targets for validating differential therapeutic neuromodulation.
