| dc.description.abstract | Depressive cognitive impairment is seen in a significant number of patients with depression. However, it remains challenging to differentiate between patients with amnestic (those with subjective cognitive impairment complaints) and non-amnestic major depressive disorder, highlighting the urgent need for additional objective tools to help classify these patients more accurately. We analyzed cognitive state, alterations in regional entropy and functional connectivity measures of the brain between patients with major depression and healthy controls. The depressed cohort was categorized as either amnestic or non-amnestic, depending on self-reported experiences of forgetfulness. The superior temporal region and insula exhibited altered entropy and connectivity measures in individuals with depression and subjective cognitive impairment, which was correlated with impaired executive functions, a pattern not being evident in the control group. Our findings support the notion that insular and superior temporal entropic alterations are linked to subjective cognitive changes in the pathology of depression. These regions also hold potential as biomarkers for determining the underlying objective cognitive deficits in subjective cognitive complaints in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). This underscores the need for improved diagnostic approaches and the implementation of practical dynamic neuroimaging modalities capable of addressing the current challenges in diagnosing subjective cognitive impairment in MDD, offering promise for the future management of patients with depression. | |
