Task-Related Controllability of Functional Connectome During a Working Memory Task in Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, and Major Depressive Disorder
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Working memory (WM) deficit is a prominent and common cognitive impairment in major psychiatric disorders (MPDs). Altered control of brain state transitions may underlie the neural basis of WM deficit. We investigate whether shared and illness-specific alterations in controllability underlie WM deficits in MPDs. We examined functional magnetic resonance imaging data during an n -back WM task from 105 patients with schizophrenia (SZ), 67 with bipolar disorder (BD), 51 with major depressive disorder (MDD), and 80 healthy controls (HCs). We calculated each brain region’s capacity to steer transitions to connectomic states with less input (average controllability) and to difficult-to-reach states with high input (modal controllability). The effect of altered controllability on clinical and cognitive characteristics and their likely genetic and neurotransmitter basis were investigated. All MPDs demonstrated a common but graded pattern of reduced modal controllability within the frontoparietal network compared to HC, with SZ showing the most pronounced impairment. Relative to BD and MDD, SZ exhibited the broadest profile of reduced average and modal controllability across the cortex, particularly in sensory, default mode, and salience networks. The affected brain regions preferentially expressed genes that determine synaptic biology and chemoarchitecture involving glutamate/γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and monoamine [dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] neurotransmitter systems. A graded, transdiagnostic reduction in the influence of the sensory networks and triple network system in implementing state transitions underlies WM deficits in MPDs. This deficit, especially pronounced in SZ, has its likely basis in synaptic biology and in glutamate/GABA and monoamine (dopamine and 5-HT) neurotransmitters.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
