Family history, inflammation, and cerebellum in major depression: a combined VBM and dynamic functional connectivity study by Jianyue Pang, Jiaying Xu, Long Chen, Huimin Teng, Chenxiao Su, Zhiyuan Zhang, Lingyun Gao, Rui Zhang, Gang Liu, Yuan Chen, Jin He, Yajing Pang, Hengfen Li

“…Moreover, the GMV of the cerebellum was positively correlated with CRP in the NFH group, while the dFC between the cerebellum and mPFC was positively correlated with IL-6 in the FH group. The present findings indicate that cerebellar structure and dynamic function vary according to FH of MDD and are related to inflammatory factors, potentially offering novel insights into the underlying pathogenic mechanisms of MDD.…”
