Abnormal development and dysconnectivity of distinct thalamic nuclei in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome experiencing auditory
hallucinations
MANCINI, Valentina, et al .
Abstract
Several studies in patients with schizophrenia have demonstrated an abnormal thalamic volume and thalamocortical connectivity. Specifically, hyperconnectivity with somatosensory areas has been related to the presence of auditory hallucinations (AHs). The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is a neurogenetic disorder conferring proneness to develop schizophrenia, and deletion carriers (22qdel carriers) experience hallucinations to a greater extent than the general population.

Abnormal Development and Dysconnectivity of Distinct Thalamic Nuclei in Patients With 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome Experiencing Auditory Hallucinations
Supplemental Information
Structural images preprocessing Quality control of the segmentation
In order to ensure the quality of the segmentation, it was verified for each subject that the mask as whole was correctly
placed with no shifts of the mask beyond the borders of the thalamus and without portions of the thalamus being cut
off. Further, we checked that there was no major mislabeling of thalamic nuclei visible to the naked eye which eventually
resulted in the exclusion of the whole segmentation. Quality control was performed visually by comparing the thalamus
before the segmentation with the segmentation label in the 3 projections of the space (axial, sagittal and transversal).
Criteria based on intensity differences, symmetry with the contralateral side and anatomical landmarks were used. In
this regard, we excluded 5 scans from further analyses (2 HC and 3 22qdel) for the following reasons:
1. The medial margin of the pulvinar was overlapping with the ventricle 2. The whole thalamic mask was not well placed in 2 cases
3. The medial part of the left VLp was considered as part of the left MDI
4. The anterior margin of the right VA nucleus had an indentation that was not compatible with anatomical features
The data of each thalamic nucleus were then tested for normality which is a prerequisite for the use of the following
statistical analyses (i.e. mixed model). All the remaining volumetric data had a normal distribution.
Statistical analyses for volumetric data Mixed model
A toolbox was employed to estimate developmental curves of thalamic nuclei over age in a sample where subjects were
recorded at different ages and at multiple time‐points ( https://github.com/danizoeller/myMixedModelsTrajectories).
In the present study, a linear model was the most suitable model order for the development of thalamic nuclei, as
exemplified by the following equation:
𝑌 𝛽 𝛽 ∙ 𝑔 𝛽 ∙ 𝑎 𝛽 ∙ 𝑔 ∙ 𝑎 𝑢 𝑢 ∙ 𝑎 𝜖
𝑌:𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑐 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒
𝑖,𝑗: 𝑠𝑢𝑏𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑠,𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑥
𝛽 :𝑓𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝑒𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑠
𝑔: 𝑔𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑣𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒
𝑎:𝑎𝑔𝑒
𝑢:𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑜𝑚 𝑒𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡
𝜖:𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑟 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚
The significance of the between‐group differences in the intercept and in the slope were evaluated by means of a
likelihood ratio test between the full model and any of the following reduced models:
Reduced group effect model
𝑌 𝛽 𝛽 ∙ 𝑎 𝑢 𝑢 ∙ 𝑎 𝜖
Reduced slope model
𝑌 𝛽 𝛽 ∙ 𝑔 𝛽 ∙ 𝑎 𝑢 𝑢 ∙ 𝑎 𝜖
P‐values resulting from the likelihood ratio tests indicate the difference of intercept and slope of developmental
trajectories of the thalamic volumes of each group. Finally, these p‐values were adjusted for multiple testing with the
false discovery rate correction by using the fdr_bh function in Matlab. When a difference in the slope of the two groups
was detected, the age at deflection was evaluated at the point of intersection of the two linear trajectories.
P‐values and log‐likelihood ratio are provided for group effect and slope. Furthermore, the difference in percentage
between the intercept of the 2 groups tested for thalamic nuclei of which test‐retest reliability has been evaluated (i.e.
AV, LP, CM, MD, VL and PU) are listed in Supplementary Table S2.
If there was no significant slope difference between the 2 groups but a significant group difference, the difference in
percentage was evaluated as follows:
𝑥
A B 𝑥 100 /AOn the other hand, if there were both significant slope difference between the 2 groups and a significant group
difference or a significant slope difference alone, we computed the maximum estimated group difference, i.e. the
difference between the intercepts in the point of the curve with the maximum difference between the 2 groups:
𝑥
A𝑚𝑎𝑥 B𝑚𝑖𝑛 𝑥 100 /A𝑚𝑎𝑥Group comparison and correlations of cross‐sectional data
Demographic measures between groups were compared using two‐sample t‐tests and p‐values were corrected for
multiple comparisons with the FDR. We additionally employed a two‐sample t‐test to compare the volume of MGN in
the cross‐sectional group comparison. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was employed to assess the correlation
between FC values and the volume of MGN.
fMRI images preprocessing
The functional images were preprocessed using SPM12 (Statistical Parametric Mapping, Wellcome Department of
Imaging Neuroscience) (https://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/software/spm12/), Data Processing Assistant for Resting‐
State fMRI (DPARSF)(1) and Individual Brain Atlases using Statistical Parametric Mapping (IBASPM) toolboxes using in‐
house Matlab code and adapting the pipeline of previous studies(2, 3).
All the functional images were realigned to the first volume with a six‐parameter rigid body transformation and the
structural scans were then co‐registered to the functional mean. The anatomical images were segmented into grey
matter, white matter and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with the SPM12 Segmentation algorithm(4). In order to improve
anatomical precision, we created a study‐specific template by means of Diffeomorphic Anatomical Registration using
Exponentiated Lie algebra (DARTEL)(5) and the realigned fMRI images were non‐linearly normalized to the study‐specific
template. The resulting images were affine‐aligned into stereotactic space of the Montreal Neurologic Institute (MNI)
and finally spatially smoothed using an isotropic Gaussian kernel of 3 mm full width maximum (FWHM). The choice of
the smoothing parameter was based on the evidence that using smoothing kernels with a FWMH higher than 4 mm
might mix the signal arising from subcortical nuclei(6). Similar to previous studies, we used a priori anatomically
delineated thalamic nuclei in native space as seeds(7). Bilateral labels of each thalamic nucleus with aberrant
development in subjects having AH were exported from the structural scans processed in FreeSurfer, converted into
nifti format and spatially normalized to MNI.
Further steps of preprocessing and FC analyses were carried out using the CONN‐fMRI Functional Connectivity toolbox
v18(https://web.conn‐toolbox.org)(8). The labels of left and right nuclei of interest based on individual anatomy were
imported in Conn as subject‐specific ROIs. The alignment of the functional mean with the anatomical images and the
labels of the thalamic nuclei of interest was carefully inspected for each subject. The mislabeling of the ROI voxels of
any thalamic nucleus resulted in the exclusion of the entire scan. Outlier scans due to head motion were identified using
the software ART(www.nitrc.org/projects/artifact_detect)(9) and excluded if the movement of either translational or
rotational parameters exceeded 2 mm or 2°. After all these quality control procedures, 10 subjects (6 with and 4 without
AH) were excluded from the following analyses.
BOLD signal noise from white matter and CSF was defined and addressed with the Component‐based correction
(CompCor) method which models the influence of noise as a voxel‐specific combination of multiple noise sources(8,
10). The first 5 principal components of the subject‐specific WM‐ and CSF‐mask signals were calculated. Then, the linear
effects of the 6 motion parameters estimated during realignment, their temporal derivatives, and the 10 noise
components (including physiological artifacts such as cardiac or respiratory rates) were regressed out at each voxel.
Furthermore, outliers time‐points identified with the software ART by using a global‐signal z‐value threshold of 3 and a
subject motion threshold of 0.5 mm were as well censored from the BOLD time‐series at each voxel. Finally, the BOLD
time‐series within each of the bilateral seeds was estimated and temporally band‐pass filtered with a frequency window
of 0.01 to 0.1 Hz.
Seed‐based functional connectivity analyses
First‐level analyses were performed using general linear models, as implemented in SPM12. Seed‐to‐voxel and ROI‐to‐
ROI FC analyses were carried on between thalamic nuclei of interest as defined by apriori anatomical segmentation and
the whole brain using Harvard‐Oxford atlas in the second case.
Seed‐to‐voxel and ROI‐to‐ROI FC maps were created for each participant, modeling individual‐specific covariation between the BOLD activity of each seed and the rest of the brain by using Fisher‐transformed bivariate correlation
coefficients(8). To account for the use of 2 scanner models and differences in sex and age and the use of antipsychotic
medications, these parameters were entered as covariates together with head motion information.
Second level analyses allowed to test our hypotheses and compare with independent t‐tests the FC between each
thalamic seed and the rest of the brain in the groups of 22qdel with and without AH. False positive control in ROI‐to‐
ROI analyses was performed using FDR correction and in voxel‐level analyses using a combination of FDR correction at
voxel level and family wise error (FWE) correction at cluster level.
Analyses to test the hypothesis of a VTA‐hippocampal‐thalamic loop dysfunction Here we tested whether:
1. There is a correlation between the volume of Re nucleus and CA1 subfield of the hippocampus by using the fitlme function in MATLAB R2017 (Math Works). As in our previous work(11), a segmentation algorithm
published with FreeSurfer v 6.0 was employed to get the volumetric data(12). Results can be found in
supplementary table S11.
2. There is an increased functional connectivity between ventral tegmental area (VTA) and hippocampus in 22qdel with hallucinations. VTA region was defined as in the paper by Giordano and colleagues: a 3 mm spherical ROI
containing 27 voxels centered in the midline of the brain(13) by employing MarsBar region of interest toolbox
for SPM(14). Similarly, we kept peak Tailarach coordinates fixed across subjects [x =0, y=20, z=12]. Fc analyses
were carried out with Conn as described in the main text. Results can be found in supplementary table S10.
