“…Correlations with amygdala volume have been investigated in multiple studies, some showing positive [47][48][49][50], some negative [51][52][53] correlations of its (total) volume with subclinical anxiety. Other reported areas are the ACC [53,54], insula and OFC [47,52,55,56], hippocampus [48,57,58], parahippocampal cortex (positive GMV correlation [49,59] and negative GMV correlation [53]), and precuneus (negative GMV correlation [60], positive GMV correlation with state measures [45] and [55]). One study showed a negative correlation of gyrification of the precuneus with trait anxiety [61].…”

Brain Structure and Subclinical Symptoms: A Dimensional Perspective of Psychopathology in the Depression and Anxiety Spectrum

2019

Human psychopathology is the result of complex and subtle neurobiological alterations. Categorial DSM or ICD diagnoses do not allow a biologically founded and differentiated description of these diverse processes across a spectrum or continuum, emphasising the need for a scientific and clinical paradigm shift towards a dimensional psychiatric nosology. The subclinical part of the spectrum is, however, of special interest for early detection of mental disorders. We review the current evidence of brain structural correlates (grey matter volume, cortical thickness, and gyrification) in non-clinical (psychiatrically healthy) subjects with minor depressive and anxiety symptoms. We identified 16 studies in the depressive spectrum and 20 studies in the anxiety spectrum. These studies show effects associated with subclinical symptoms in the hippocampus, anterior cingulate cortex, and anterior insula similar to major depression and changes in amygdala similar to anxiety disorders. Precuneus and temporal areas as parts of the default mode network were affected specifically in the subclinical studies. We derive several methodical considerations crucial to investigations of brain structural correlates of minor psycho(patho)logical symptoms in healthy participants. And we discuss neurobiological overlaps with findings in patients as well as distinct findings, e.g. in areas involved in the default mode network. These results might lead to more insight into the early pathogenesis of clinical significant depression or anxiety and need to be enhanced by multi-centre and longitudinal studies.

“…Proposed as a key component of positive psychology [ 1 , 4 ], balanced TP is associated with a range of domains relevant for wellbeing including life satisfaction [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Recent studies suggest that balanced TP is associated with better mental health (e.g., reduced anxiety and depression symptoms) [ 9 , 10 , 11 ] and psychological flexibility [ 12 ]. In addition, participants with more balanced TP have been shown to display greater self-control [ 13 ], higher levels of emotional intelligence [ 14 ] and mindfulness [ 15 ].…”

Functional Coupling between the Fronto-Parietal Network and Default Mode Network Is Associated with Balanced Time Perspective

et al. 2022

Balanced time perspective refers to the ability to flexibly switch between different temporal foci in an adaptive manner according to the current context. Functional connectivity within the default mode network (DMN) has been suggested to support balanced time perspective. The coupling between the DMN and fronto-parietal network (FPN) may drive many important expressions of internally directed cognition. However, it remains unclear whether balanced time perspective is supported by the interaction between the FPN and DMN. To examine these issues, we recruited 91 participants (52 males with mean age of 19.6, and 39 females with mean age of 20.0) to undergo resting-state brain imaging scan and to complete a questionnaire measuring balanced time perspective. Seed-based voxel-wise functional connectivity analyses implicated midline DMN regions including the anterior medial prefrontal cortex (amPFC) and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) along with the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), precuneus, and cerebellum in supporting a balanced time perspective. More importantly, functional connectivity between the right amPFC and right dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in the FPN was found to associate with balanced time perspective. Our findings suggest the importance of coordinated brain activity in supporting a balanced time perspective.

“…Determining the neural substrates of maintaining a balanced time perspective remains an active topic of investigation (Guo et al, 2017;Wu et al, 2019). Accumulating evidence suggests a pivotal role for executive functions (e.g., inhibition) in this process (Zajenkowski, Stolarski, Witowska, Maciantowicz, & Łowicki, 2016) enabling the individual to exibly switch between different perspectives, and to inhibit potentially maladaptive time perspectives.…”

“…Thus, it is possible that brain regions supporting executive control (e.g., dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex) (Niendam et al, 2012;Vincent, Kahn, Snyder, Raichle, & Buckner, 2008), may be implicated in balanced time perspective. In addition, some empirical studies have pointed to the importance of default mode network structures, such as the precuneus, in supporting a balanced time perspective (Guo et al, 2017;Wu et al, 2019). Interestingly, sex differences have been reported in brain regions implicated in cognitive control and regions within the default mode network (Liu, Seidlitz, Blumenthal, Clasen, & Raznahan, 2020; Luders et al, 2004; Xin, Zhang, Tang, & Yang, 2019).…”

Sex differences in behaviour and cognition have been widely observed, however, little is known about such differences in maintaining a balanced time perspective or their potential underlying neural substrates. To answer the above questions, two studies were conducted. In Study 1, time perspective was assessed in 1,913 college students, including 771 males and 1,092 females, and demonstrated that females had a significantly more balanced time perspective than males. In Study 2, 58 males and 47 females underwent assessment of time perspective and structural brain imaging. Voxel-based morphometry analysis and cortical thickness analysis were used to analyse the structural imaging data. Results showed that compared with males, females demonstrated a more balanced time perspective, which primarily related to lower grey matter volume in left precuneus, right cerebellum, right putamen and left supplementary motor area. Analysis of cortical thickness failed to reveal any significant sex differences. Furthermore, the sex difference in grey matter volume of left precuneus, right cerebellum, right putamen and left supplementary motor area could account for the difference in balanced time perspective between males and females. The findings deepen our understanding of sex differences in human cognition and their potential neural signature, and may inform tailored interventions to support a balanced time perspective in daily life.
