Diffusion tensor imaging (DTT), a new development of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), enables visualization of white matter fiber tracts, which are thought to be closely related to the occurrence of PSD, According to the scores of Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) recorded at the 2nd week, 1st month, 3rd month, 6th month, and 12th month, forty patients were randomly selected and were classified into PSD group (n=20), non-depression post-stroke group (N-PSD, n=20), and control normal group (NORM, n=20), respectively. Correlations between the number of bundles (lines) in the white matter tract and corresponding FA, and HAMD score were finally assessed.Results: 1) FAs of the ipsilesional crossed corticocerebellar tract, the corticospinal tract, and the anterior thalamic radiation in PSD group were significantly lower than those in N-PSD and NORM groups (P< 0.01); 2) Lines in the three areas in the PSD group were significantly lower than those in the N-PSD and NORM groups (P< 0.01); and 3) FA and lines in the three areas of PSD patients were negatively correlated to HAMD scores (correlation coefficient=− 0.586, − 0.793, − 0.626, − 0.533, − 0.642, and − 0.524, respectively, all P< 0.05).Conclusion: FA and lines of the ipsilesional crossed corticocerebellar tract, the corticospinal tract, and the anterior thalamic radiation in PSD patients are significantly correlated to the depressive state. The crossed corticocerebellar tract, the corticospinal tract and the anterior thalamic radiation are involved in the development of PSD.Keywords: post-stroke depression, white matter tracts, diffusion tensor imaging, diffusion tensor tractographyDeng LSui RZhang LDove Medical Pressarticlepost-stroke depressionwhite matter tractsdiffusion tensor imagingdiffusion tensor tractographyNeurosciences.
