AIM: The objective of this study was to examine changes in functional connectivity (FC) in the hippocampus among patients with high myopia (HM) compared to healthy controls (HCs) through the utilization of seed-based functional connectivity (FC) analysis.
METHODS: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was conducted on a sample of 82 patients diagnosed with high myopia (HM) and 59 HCs. The two groups were matched based on age, weight and other relevant variables. Using seed-based FC analysis to detect alterations in hippocampal FC patterns in HM patients and HCs. Furthermore, a correlation analysis was performed to examine the associations between the mean functional connectivity (FC) signals in various brain regions of patients with HM and their corresponding clinical manifestations.
RESULTS: The FC values in the left temporal pole-temporal gyrus (L-TPOsup), right hippocampus (R-HIP), left medial temporal gyrus (L-MTG) and left hippocampus in HM patients were significantly lower than those of healthy subjects. In the left temporal pole-superior temporal gyrus (L-TPOsup), right orbital part of middle frontal gyrus (RO-MFG), left fusiform gyrus (L-FG), left cerebellum superior (L-Cbe6), left middle temporal gyrus (L-MTG), right thalamus (R-THA), and right hippocampus, FC values were also significantly lower.
CONCLUSION: Brain dysfunction was observed in various regions of the HM patients, suggesting the existence of neurobiological alterations that could lead to impairments in visual cognition, movement, emotional processing, and visual memory.
