摘要: Dysfunction of the dopaminergic ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) is implicated in psychiatric disorders including attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), addiction, schizophrenia movement such as Parkinson’s disease. Although prevalence these varies by age sex, underlying neural mechanism not well understood. The objective this study was to delineate distinct resting state functional connectivity (rsFC) VTA SNc examine effects age, from young middle-adulthood, sex on rsFC two structures a data set 250 healthy adults (18-49 years 104 men). Using blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signals we compared time course courses all other brain voxels. At corrected threshold, paired t test showed stronger bilateral angular gyrus superior/middle orbital frontal regions insula, thalamus, parahippocampal amygdala. Compared women, men VTA/SNc left posterior gyrus. In linear regressions, but women age-related changes number cortical cerebellar regions. Supporting shared also cerebral gender differences middle adulthood connectivity, new findings help advance our understanding bases many neuropsychiatric illnesses that implicate systems.
