The research progress on effective connectivity in adolescent depression based on resting-state fMRI by Xuan Deng, Jiajing Cui, Jinyuan Zhao, Jinji Bai, Junfeng Li, Kefeng Li

“…We first introduce some common EC analysis methods, discuss their application background and specific characteristics.ResultsEC analysis reveals information flow problems between different brain regions, such as the default mode network, the central executive network, and the salience network, which are closely related to symptoms of depression, such as low mood and cognitive impairment. This review discusses the limitations of existing studies while summarizing the current applications of EC analysis methods. …”
