dc.description.abstract
The spontaneous oscillatory activity in the human brain shows long-range
temporal correlations (LRTC) that extend over time scales of seconds to
minutes. Previous research has demonstrated aberrant LRTC in depressed
patients; however, it is unknown whether the neuronal dynamics normalize after
psychological treatment. In this study, we recorded EEG during eyes-closed
rest in depressed patients (N = 71) and healthy controls (N = 25), and
investigated the temporal dynamics in depressed patients at baseline, and
after attending either a brief mindfulness training or a stress reduction
training. Compared to the healthy controls, depressed patients showed stronger
LRTC in theta oscillations (4–7 Hz) at baseline. Following the psychological
interventions both groups of patients demonstrated reduced LRTC in the theta
band. The reduction of theta LRTC differed marginally between the groups, and
explorative analyses of separate groups revealed noteworthy topographic
differences. A positive relationship between the changes in LRTC, and changes
in depressive symptoms was observed in the mindfulness group. In summary, our
data show that aberrant temporal dynamics of ongoing oscillations in
depressive patients are attenuated after treatment, and thus may help uncover
the mechanisms with which psychotherapeutic interventions affect the brain.
