In this study, we combined Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and seed based connectivity analysis to study the posterior DMN network between patients and normal controls, as well as pre-treatment and post-treatment conditions. Our results showed significant difference of the posterior default mode sub-network between major depression patients and normal controls. Specifically, normal controls exhibited higher connectivity between PCC and frontal/temporal regions. The treatment does improve the connectivity strength of patients, especially in the anti-correlated network. These differences were unlikely induced by difference in head motion.
