[Abstract] Objective: To analyze the differences of brain local neuronal spontaneous activity of methamphetamine and heroin used disorder patients and its relevance to psychoethology. From the perspective of changes in brain activity caused by methamphetamine and heroin used disorder, to explore the underlying neural mechanism that leads to different mental conditions.Materials and Methods: Twenty-one male methamphetamine use disorder (MAUD), 21 demography matched heroin use disorder (HUD) and normal controls (NC) participants in this study. All MR imaging were acquired using an eight-channel head coil on a 3.0 T GE-Signa MRI scanner. Psychological situation was evaluated by the Self-reporting Inventory-90 (SCL-90). ReHo values were calculated and difference among three groups was analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The relationship between brain regions and psychological symptoms was performed with total brain voxel-wise analytical method in MAUD group.Results: Two-two comparison between the three groups showed MAUD group showed higher levels of anxiety, hostility, stubborn and core psychotic compared with NC group. Additionally, those in the MAUD group had higher scores of hostility compared with HA group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between HUD group and NC group. The ReHo values of multiple brain regions between the three groups were different and the brain regions were right cerebellum, right frontal middle gyrus, right putamen, right inferior temporal gyrus, left frontal super gyrus, left parietal inferior gyrus, left thalamus and left fusiform (P<0.001). Compared with the NC group, the MAUD group demonstrated significantly increased ReHo values in right frontal middle gyrus and right inferior temporal gyrus, significantly decreased in right cerebellum, left frontal super gyrus and right putamen. The HUD group demonstrated significantly increased ReHo values in right frontal middle gyrus, significantly decreased in left thalamus, left fusiform, right putamen and left parietal inferior gyrus. On same uptake drug time, compared with the HUD group, the MAUD group demonstrated significantly decreased brain regional homogeneity in resting-state of cerebellum and left frontal super gyrus, but increased in right frontal middle gyrus, right inferior temporal gyrus and left thalamus. In MAUD group, there is no correlation between total brain and psychological scale.Conclusions: Compared with HUD group, MAUD group was more damaging to the mood-regulation, auditory-related and memory-related brain regions. It may be the underlying pathological basis for the occurrence of its special mental symptoms.
