Özet

We aimed to examine resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) in adolescents with substance use disorder (SUD) and their unaffected biological siblings (SIB), relative to typically-developing controls (TDC) in order to identify alterations in functional network organization that may be associated with the familial risk for SUD. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging analysis included 20 adolescents with SUD, 20 SIB, and 18 TDC. Network‐based analysis revealed that adolescents with SUD had significantly both weaker and higher rsFC compared to TDC mainly within the default-mode network (DMN) and between the DMN, fronto-parietal (FPN) and salience networks. In addition, adolescents with SUD showed lower rsFC between the visual network and other functional networks. Although the SIB group did not differ from TDC in the whole brain analysis, they showed lower rsFC within DMN and also between the visual network and other large-scale networks as well as higher rsFC between DMN and FPN compared to TDC in connections found to be abnormal in SUD group. Our results suggest that lower rsFC within DMN and higher rsFC between the DMN with FPN which were evident both in SUD and in SIB groups, and might be related to the familial predisposition for SUD.
