Abstract

BACKGROUND: Altered structural and functional brain networks have been extensively studied in major depressive disorder (MDD) patients. However, whether the differential connectivity patterns in the rich-club organization, assessed from structural brain network analyses, and the associated connections of these regions are particularly susceptible to depression remain unclear.
