Abstract
Abstract
Suicidal
vulnerability has been related to impaired value-based decision-making
and increased sensitivity to social threat, mediated by the prefrontal
cortex. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we aimed at
replicating these previous findings by measuring brain activation during
the Iowa Gambling Task and an emotional faces viewing task.
Participants comprised 15 euthymic suicide attempters (history of depression and suicidal behavior) who were compared with 23 euthymic patient controls (history of depression without suicidal
history) and 35 healthy controls. The following five model-based
regions of interest were investigated: the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC),
ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC), anterior cingulate cortex
(ACC), medial (MPFC) and dorsal prefrontal cortex (DPFC). Suicide
attempters relative to patient controls showed (1) increased response
to angry vs. neutral faces in the left OFC and the VLPFC, as previously
reported; (2) increased response to wins vs. losses in the right OFC,
DPFC and ACC; (3) decreased response to risky vs. safe choices in the
left DPFC; and (4) decreased response to sad vs. neutral faces in the
right ACC. This study links impaired valuation processing (here for
signals of social threat, sadness and reward) to prefrontal cortex
dysfunction in suicide attempters. These long-term deficits may underlie the impaired decision-making and social difficulties found in suicide attempters.
