Key Words Major depressive disorder; Adolescent; Suicide attempt; Amygdala; Functional connectivity
Core Tip Adolescents with major depressive disorder and a history of suicide attempts exhibit reduced resting-state functional connectivity between the right lateral amygdala and visual association areas (bilateral occipital lobes), along with abnormal connections involving the parahippocampal gyrus and superior temporal gyrus. These neural patterns are further correlated with lower self-esteem and higher interpersonal stress, offering an integrated neurobiological model linking emotional regulation, self-evaluation, and environmental stress in adolescent suicidality. The findings highlight the potential of amygdala subregion-based analysis in identifying specific neural circuits associated with suicide risk, paving the way for future biomarker development and targeted interventions.
