Abstract
Male and female adults exhibited significant group differences in brain white matter (WM) asymmetry and WM network controllability. However, gender differences in controllability of hemispheric WM networks between males and females remain to be determined. Based on 1 principal atlas and 1 replication atlas, this work characterized the average controllability (AC) and modal controllability (MC) of hemispheric WM network based on 1 principal dataset and 2 replication datasets. All results showed that males had higher AC of left hemispheric networks than females. And significant hemispheric asymmetry was revealed in regional AC and MC. Furthermore, significant gender differences in the AC asymmetry were mainly found in regions lie in the frontoparietal network, and the MC asymmetry was found in regions involving auditory and emotion process. Finally, we found significant associations between regional controllability and cognitive features. Taken together, this work could provide a novel perspective for understanding gender differences in hemispheric WM asymmetry and cognitive function between males and females.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES High rates of non-right-handedness (NRH) including mixed-handedness have been reported in neurodevelopmental disorders. In schizophrenia (SZ), atypical handedness has been inconsistently related to impaired features. We aimed to determine whether SZ subjects with NRH and mixed-handedness had poorer clinical and cognitive outcomes compared to their counterparts. METHODS 667 participants were tested with a battery of neuropsychological tests, and assessed for laterality using the Edinburg Handedness Inventory. Clinical symptomatology was assessed. Learning disorders and obstetrical complications were recorded. Biological parameters were explored. RESULTS The prevalence of NRH and mixed-handedness was high (respectively, 42.4% and 34.1%). In the multivariable analyses, NRH was associated with cannabis use disorder (p = 0.045). Mixed-handedness was associated with positive symptoms (p = 0.041), current depressive disorder (p = 0.005)), current cannabis use (p = 0.024) and less akathisia (p = 0.019). A history of learning disorder was associated with NRH. No association was found with cognition, trauma history, obstetrical complications, psychotic symptoms, peripheral inflammation. CONCLUSIONS Non-right and mixed-handedness are very high in patients with SZ, possibly reflecting a neurodevelopmental origin. NRH is associated with learning disorders and cannabis use. Mixed-handedness is associated with positive symptoms, current depressive disorder, cannabis use and less akathisia. However, this study did not confirm greater cognitive impairment in these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES High rates of non-right-handedness (NRH) and mixed-handedness exist in neurodevelopmental disorders. Dysfunctional neurodevelopmental pathways may be implicated in the underlying pathophysiology of bipolar disorders (BD), at least in some subgroups. Yet little is known about correlates of NRH and mixed-handedness in BD. The objectives of this national study are to determine (i) the prevalence of NRH and mixed-handedness in a well-stabilized sample of BD individuals; (ii) if NRH/mixed-handedness in BD is associated with a different clinical, biological and neurocognitive profile. METHODS We included 2174 stabilized individuals. Participants were tested with a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests. Handedness was assessed using a single oral question. Learning and/or language disorders and obstetrical complications were recorded using childhood records. Common environmental, clinical and biological parameters were assessed. RESULTS The prevalence of NRH and mixed-handedness were, respectively, 11.6 and 2.4%. Learning/language disorders were found in 9.7% out of the total sample and were associated with atypical handedness (only dyslexia for mixed-handedness (p < 0.01), and dyslexia and dysphasia for NRH (p = 0.01 and p = 0.04, respectively). In multivariate analyses, NRH was associated with a younger age of BD onset (aOR 0.98 (95% CI 0.96-0.99) and lifetime substance use disorder (aOR 1.40 (95% CI 1.03-1.82) but not with any of the cognitive subtasks. Mixed-handedness was associated in univariate analyses with lifetime substance use disorder, lifetime cannabis use disorder (all p < 0.01) and less mood stabilizer prescription (p = 0.028). No association was found between NRH or mixed-handedness and the following parameters: trauma history, obstetrical complications, prior psychotic symptoms, bipolar subtype, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, peripheral inflammation or body mass index. CONCLUSIONS Handedness may be associated with specific features in BD, possibly reflecting a specific subgroup with a neurodevelopmental load.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bipolar disorder (BP) is a common psychiatric disorder characterized by extreme fluctuations in mood. Recent studies have indicated the involvement of cerebellum in the pathogenesis of BP. However, no study has focused on the precise role of cerebellum exclusively in patients with bipolar I disorder (BP-I). METHODS Forty-five patients with BP-I and 40 healthy controls were recruited. All subjects underwent clinical evaluation and Magnetic Resonance diffusion Tension Imaging scans. For structural images, we used a spatially unbiased infratentorial template toolbox to isolate the cerebellum and then preformed voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analyses to assess the difference in cerebellar gray matter volume (GMV) between the two groups. For the functional images, we chose the clusters that survived from VBM analysis as seeds and performed functional connectivity (FC) analysis. Between-group differences were assessed using the independent Students t test or the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U Test. For multiple comparisons, the results were further corrected with Gaussian random field (GRF) approach (voxel-level P < 0.001, cluster-level P < 0.05). RESULTS Compared with healthy controls, BP-I patients showed significantly decreased GMV in left lobule V and left lobule VI (P < 0.05, GRF corrected). The FC of cerebellum with bilateral superior temporal gyrus, bilateral insula, bilateral rolandic operculum, right putamen, and left precentral gyrus was disrupted in BP-I patients (P < 0.05, GRF corrected). CONCLUSIONS BP-I patients showed decreased cerebellar GMV and disrupted cerebellar-cortex resting-state FC. This suggests that cerebellar abnormalities may play an important role in the pathogenesis of BP-I.

Abstract
Chronic stress has been shown to have long-term effects on functional hemispheric asymmetries in both humans and non-human species. The short-term effects of acute stress exposure on functional hemispheric asymmetries are less well investigated. It has been suggested that acute stress can affect functional hemispheric asymmetries by modulating inhibitory function of the corpus callosum, the white matter pathway that connects the two hemispheres. On the molecular level, this modulation may be caused by a stress-related increase in cortisol, a major stress hormone. Therefore, it was the aim of the present study to investigate the acute effects of cortisol on functional hemispheric asymmetries. Overall, 60 participants were tested after administration of 20 mg hydrocortisone or a placebo tablet in a cross-over design. Both times, a verbal and an emotional dichotic listening task to assess language and emotional lateralization, as well as a Banich-Belger task to assess interhemispheric integration were applied. Lateralization quotients were determined for both reaction times and correctly identified syllables in both dichotic listening tasks. In the Banich-Belger task, across-field advantages were determined to quantify interhemispheric integration. While we could replicate previously reported findings for these tasks in the placebo session, we could not detect any differences in asymmetry between hydrocortisone and placebo treatment. This partially corroborates the results of a previous study we performed using social stress to induce cortisol increases. This suggests that an increase in cortisol does not influence dichotic listening performance on a behavioral level. As other studies reported an effect of stress hormones on functional hemispheric asymmetries on a neuro-functional level, future research using neuronal imaging methods would be helpful in the characterization of the relation of hemispheric asymmetries and stress hormones.

Abstract
The goal of this paper is to investigate the baseline brain activity in euthymic bipolar disorder (BD) patients by comparing it to healthy controls (HC) with the use of a variety of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) analyses, such as amplitude of low frequency fluctuations (ALFF), fractional ALFF (f/ALFF), ALFF-based functional connectivity (FC), and r egional homogeneity (ReHo). We hypothesize that above-mentioned techniques will differentiate BD from HC indicating dissimilarities between the groups within different brain structures. Forty-two participants divided into two groups of euthymic BD patients (n = 21) and HC (n = 21) underwent rs-fMRI evaluation. Typical band ALFF, slow-4, slow-5, f/ALFF, as well as ReHo indexes were analyzed. Regions with altered ALFF were chosen as ROI for seed-to-voxel analysis of FC. As opposed to HC, BD patients revealed: increased ALFF in left insula; increased slow-5 in left middle temporal pole; increased f/ALFF in left superior frontal gyrus, left superior temporal gyrus, left middle occipital gyrus, right putamen, and bilateral thalamus. There were no significant differences between BD and HC groups in slow-4 band. Compared to HC, the BD group presented higher ReHo values in the left superior medial frontal gyrus and lower ReHo values in the right supplementary motor area. FC analysis revealed significant hyper-connectivity within the BD group between left insula and bilateral middle frontal gyrus, right superior parietal gyrus, right supramarginal gyrus, left inferior parietal gyrus, left cerebellum, and left supplementary motor area. To our best knowledge, this is the first rs-fMRI study combining ReHo, ALFF, f/ALFF, and subdivided frequency bands (slow-4 and slow-5) in euthymic BD patients. ALFF, f/ALFF, slow-5, as well as REHO analysis revealed significant differences between two studied groups. Although results obtained with the above methods enable to identify group-specific brain structures, no overlap between the brain regions was detected. This indicates that combination of foregoing rs-fMRI methods may complement each other, revealing the bigger picture of the complex resting state abnormalities in BD.

Abstract
Hemispheric lateralization is a prominent feature of the human brain and is grounded into intra- and inter-hemispheric white matter (WM) connections. However, disruptions in hemispheric lateralization involving both intra- and inter-hemispheric WM connections in schizophrenia is still unclear. Hence, a quantitative measure of the hemispheric lateralization of intra- and inter-hemispheric WM connections could provide new insights into schizophrenia. This work performed diffusion tensor imaging on 50 patients and 58 matched healthy controls. Using graph theory, the global and nodal efficiencies were computed for both intra- and inter-hemispheric networks. We found that patients with schizophrenia showed significantly decrease in both global and nodal efficiency of hemispheric networks relative to healthy controls. Specially, deficits in intra-hemispheric integration and inter-hemispheric communication were revealed in frontal and temporal regions for schizophrenia. We also found disrupted hemispheric asymmetries in brain regions associated with emotion, memory, and visual processes for schizophrenia. Moreover, abnormal hemispheric asymmetry of nodal efficiency was significantly correlated with the symptom of the patients. Our finding indicated that the hemispheric WM lateralization of intra- and inter-hemispheric connections could serve as a potential imaging biomarker for schizophrenia.

Abstract
Purpose Increasing evidence indicated that thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) might be a neural related disease more than an ocular disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate the alterations of structural brain connectome in patients with TAO. Methods Twenty-seven patients with TAO and 27 well-matched healthy controls underwent diffusion tensor imaging. Graph theoretical analyses, including global (shortest path length, clustering coefficient, small-worldness, global efficiency, and local efficiency) and nodal (nodal betweenness, nodal degree, and nodal efficiency) topological properties and network-based statistics were performed to evaluate TAO-related changes in brain network pattern. Correlations were assessed between the network properties and clinical variables, including disease duration, visual acuity, neuropsychiatric measurements, and serum thyroid function indexes. Results Compared with healthy controls, patients with TAO exhibited preserved global network parameters but altered nodal properties. We found decreased nodal betweenness and nodal degree in right anterior cingulate and paracingulate gyri, decreased nodal degree and nodal efficiency in the right orbital part of middle frontal gyrus (ORBmid), whereas increased nodal degree and nodal efficiency in the left cuneus. Decrease of structural connectivity strength was found involving the right ORBmid, right putamen, left caudate nucleus, and left medial superior frontal gyrus. Significant correlations were also found between nodal properties and neuropsychological performances as well as visual acuity. Conclusions Patients with TAO developed disruption of structural brain network connectome. Disrupted topological organization of the brain structural network may be associated with the clinical-psychiatric dysfunction of patients with TAO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurovascular abnormalities are relevant to the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder (BD), which can be assessed using cerebral blood flow (CBF) imaging. CBF alterations have been identified in BD, but studies to date have been small and inconclusive. We aimed to determine cortical gray matter CBF (GM-CBF) differences between BD and healthy controls (HC) and to identify relationships between CBF and clinical or cognitive measures. METHODS Cortical GM-CBF maps were generated using Pseudo-Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling (pCASL) for 109 participants (BD, n = 61; HC, n = 48). We used SnPM13 to perform non-parametric voxel-wise two-sample t-tests comparing CBF between groups. We performed multiple linear regression to relate GM-CBF with clinical and cognitive measures. Analysis was adjusted for multiple comparisons with 10,000 permutations. Significance was set at a voxel level threshold of P < .001 followed by AlphaSim cluster-wise correction of P < .05. RESULTS Compared to HCs, BD patients had greater GM-CBF in the left lateral occipital cortex, superior division and lower CBF in the right lateral occipital, angular and middle temporal gyrus. Greater GM-CBF in the left lateral occipital cortex correlated with worse working memory, verbal memory, attention and speed of processing. We found using voxel-wise regression that decreased gray matter CBF in the bilateral thalamus and cerebellum, and increased right fronto-limbic CBF were associated with worse working memory. No clusters were associated with clinical variables after FDR correction. CONCLUSIONS Cortical GM-CBF alterations are seen in BD and may be related to cognitive function, which suggest neurovascular unit dysfunction as a possible pathophysiologic mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cerebellum has a crucial role in mood regulation. While cerebellar grey matter (GM) alterations have been previously reported in bipolar disorder (BD), cerebro-cerebellar white matter (WM) connectivity alterations and cerebellar GM profiles have not been characterised in the context of predominant polarity (PP) and onset polarity (OP) subphenotypes of BD patients which is the aim of the present study. METHODS Forty-two euthymic BD patients stratified for PP and OP and 42 healthy controls (HC) were included in this quantitative neuroimaging study to evaluate cerebellar GM patterns and cerebro-cerebellar WM connections. Diffusion tensor tractography was used to characterise afferent and efferent cerebro-cerebellar tract integrity. False discovery rate corrections were applied in post-hoc comparisons. RESULTS BD patients exhibited higher fractional anisotropy (FA) in fronto-ponto-cerebellar tracts bilaterally compared to HC. Subphenotype-specific FA profiles were identified within the BD cohort. Regarding PP subgroups, we found FA changes in a) left contralateral fronto-ponto-cerebellar tract (depressive-PP > HC) and b) contralateral/ipsilateral fronto-ponto-cerebellar tracts bilaterally (manic-PP > HC). Regarding OP subgroups, we observed FA changes in a) left/right contralateral fronto-ponto-cerebellar tracts (depressive-OP > HC) and b) all fronto-ponto-cerebellar, most parieto-ponto-cerebellar and right contralateral occipito-ponto-cerebellar tracts (manic-OP>HC). In general, greater and more widespread cerebro-cerebellar changes were observed in manic-OP patients than in depressive-OP patients compared to HC. Manic-OP showed higher FA compared to depressive-OP patients in several afferent WM tracts. No GM differences were identified between BD and HC and across BD subgroups. CONCLUSIONS Our findings highlight fronto-ponto-cerebellar connectivity alterations in euthymic BD. Polarity-related subphenotypes have distinctive cerebro-cerebellar WM signatures with potential clinical and pathobiological implications.

Abstract
Neuroimaging studies suggest disrupted connections of the brain white matter (WM) network in bipolar disorder (BD). A group of highly interconnected high-density structures, termed the 'rich club,' represents an important network for brain functioning. Recent works have revealed abnormal rich club organization in brain networks in BD. However, little is known regarding changes in the rich club organization of the hemispheric WM network in BD. Forty-nine BD patients and fifty-five age- and sex-matched normal controls (NCs) underwent diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Graph theory approaches were applied to quantify group-specific rich club organization and nodal degree of hemispheric WM networks. We demonstrated that rich club organization of hemispheric WM networks in BD was disrupted, with disrupted feeder and local connections among hub and peripheral regions located in the default mode network (DMN) and the control execution network (CEN). In addition, BD patients showed abnormal asymmetry in the feeder and local connections, involving the hub and peripheral regions associated with emotion regulation and visuospatial functions. Moreover, the clinical symptoms of BD showed a significant correlation with the aberrant asymmetry in the regional degree of peripheral regions. These findings reveal that BD is closely associated with disrupted feeder and local connections but no alteration in rich-club connections in the rich club organization of hemispheric WM networks and provide novel insight into the changes of brain functions in BD.

Abstract
Advances in the understanding and management of bipolar disorder (BD) have been slow to emerge. Despite notable recent developments in neurosciences, our conceptualization of the nature of this mental disorder has not meaningfully progressed. One of the key reasons for this scenario is the continuing lack of a comprehensive disease model. Within the increasing complexity of modern research methods, there is a clear need for an overarching theoretical framework, in which findings are assimilated and predictions are generated. In this review and hypothesis article, we propose such a framework, one in which dysregulated energy expenditure is a primary, sufficient cause for BD. Our proposed model is centered on the disruption of the molecular and cellular network regulating energy production and expenditure, as well its potential secondary adaptations and compensatory mechanisms. We also focus on the putative longitudinal progression of this pathological process, considering its most likely periods for onset, such as critical periods that challenges energy homeostasis (e.g. neurodevelopment, social isolation), and the resulting short and long-term phenotypical manifestations.

Abstract
Emerging research indicates interruptions in the wiring organization of the brain network in Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Due to the important role of rich-club organization in distinguishing abnormalities of AD patients and the close relationship between structural connectivity (SC) and functional connectivity (FC), our study examined whether changes in SC-FC coupling and the relationship with abnormal rich-club organizations during the development of diseases may contribute to the pathophysiology of AD. Structural diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) were performed in 38 normal controls (NCs), 40 MCI patients and 19 AD patients. Measures of the rich-club structure and its role in global structural-functional coupling were administered. Our study found decreased levels of feeder and local connectivity in MCI and AD patients, which were the main contributing factors to the lower efficiency of the brain structural network. Another important finding was that we have more accurately characterized the changing pattern of functional brain dynamics. The enhanced coupling between SC and FC in MCI and AD patients might be due to disruptions in optimal structural organization. More interestingly, we also found increases in the SC-FC coupling for feeder and local connections in MCI and AD patients. SC-FC coupling also showed significant differences between MCI and AD patients, mainly between the abnormal feeder connections. The connection density and coupling strength were significantly correlated with clinical metrics in patients. The present findings enhanced our understanding of the neurophysiologic mechanisms associated with MCI and AD.

Abstract
Bipolar disorder (BD) has been linked to disrupted structural and functional connectivity between prefrontal networks and limbic brain regions. Studies of patients with pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) can help elucidate the developmental origins of altered structural connectivity underlying BD and provide novel insights into the aetiology of BD. Here we compare the network properties of whole-brain structural connectomes of euthymic PBD patients with psychosis, a variant of PBD, and matched healthy controls. Our results show widespread changes in the structural connectivity of PBD patients with psychosis in both cortical and subcortical networks, notably affecting the orbitofrontal cortex, frontal gyrus, amygdala, hippocampus and basal ganglia. Graph theoretical analysis revealed that PBD connectomes have fewer hubs, weaker rich club organization, different modular fingerprint and inter-modular communication, compared to healthy participants. The relationship between network features and neurocognitive and psychotic scores was also assessed, revealing trends of association between patients’ IQ and affective psychotic symptoms with the local efficiency of the orbitofrontal cortex. Our findings reveal that PBD with psychosis is associated with significant widespread changes in structural network topology, thus strengthening the hypothesis of a reduced capacity for integrative processing of information across brain regions. Localised network changes involve core regions for emotional processing and regulation, as well as memory and executive function, some of which show trends of association with neurocognitive faculties and symptoms. Together, our findings provide the first comprehensive characterisation of the alterations in local and global structural brain connectivity and network topology, which may contribute to the deficits in cognition and emotion processing and regulation found in PBD.
