Description

Among teenagers with major depression, thinking about suicide and acting on it may not be the same brain state. Hui Zhong and eight co-authors scanned four groups with resting brain imaging. The groups held 37 patients who had attempted suicide, 34 with suicidal thoughts only, 20 with neither, and 20 healthy controls. They compared a measure of how densely each brain region connects to the rest of the brain.

The groups differed in a few telling spots. The ideation group showed denser connections in a visual region at the back of the brain and in the left precentral gyrus. It showed sparser ones in a right frontal region. Those values tracked the suicide scores on a depression scale. The attempt group sat between, denser than controls in the visual region. The authors read the pattern as a signature that separates thoughts from acts.
