Takeaway
The study found that in pediatric mood disorders, emotional dysregulation (ED) correlated with alterations in cingulum-callosal microstructural integrity (i.e. higher radial diffusivity and lower fractional anisotropy in cingulum-callosal bundles).
Why this matters
These findings have highlighted potentially clinically and biologically neural targets which could allow for earlier diagnosis of a mood disorder and implementation of treatment and prevention strategies.
