[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the changes of resting-state spontaneous brain activity in multiple system atrophy patients with depression.Materials and Methods: Thirty-two MSA patients with depression symptom, twenty-six patients without depression and thirty-nine health controls were enrolled. All the participants underwent 3.0 T MRI resting-state blood oxygen level dependence sequence scan. Two sample t-test was used to compare the differences of the whole brain amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) among the three groups, and the correlation between the different brain areas and Hamilton depression score was analyzed.Results: Compared with the HC groups, MSA-D (MSA patients with depressive symptoms) shows more widely brain areas dysfunction which included right inferior temporal gyrus, bilateral putamen, right superior frontal gyrus, left middle frontal gyrus, bilateral middle occipital gyrus, left precuneus and left middle cingulate cortex than MSA-ND (MSA- no depressive symptoms). A directly comparison of the two patient groups, MSA-D shows increase ALFF in right middle temporal gyrus and right middle occipital gyrus. There was a positive correlation between the ALFF value of right middle temporal gyrus and clinical HAMD-24 score (r=-0.511, P=0.003).Conclusions: There is a wide range of resting state brain activity in MSA patients with depressive symptoms, and increased ALFF activity in the right middle temporal gyrus may be a potential biomarker for depressive symptoms in MSA.
