Core Tip This observational study included 90 patients with depression (45 men/45 women) and 30 healthy controls. Using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and dynamic brain network analysis, we identified impaired network efficiency, modularity, and emotional regulation in depression, with sex-related patterns. Women showed enhanced default mode network inhibition, while men exhibited salience network-limbic segregation. These findings offer key neuroimaging evidence for sex-specific depression diagnostic criteria and treatments.
