The severity of current depressive symptoms was also higher in HD, but not associated with the severity of HD motor signs or disease burden. Compared with the non-depressed HD group DTI revealed lower fractional anisotropy (FA) values in the frontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, insula and cerebellum of the HD group with subthreshold depressive symptoms. In contrast, VBM measures were similar in both HD groups. A history of depression, the severity of HD motor signs or disease burden did not correlate with FA values of these regions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S003329171300247X_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Current subthreshold depressive symptoms in early HD are associated with microstructural changes\u00a0\u2013\u00a0without concomitant brain volume loss\u00a0\u2013\u00a0in brain regions known to be involved in major depressive disorder, but not those typically associated with HD pathology.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s003329171300247x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,7]],"date-time":"2013-10-07T09:38:04Z","timestamp":1381138684000},"page":"1867-1878","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["The neuroanatomy of subthreshold depressive symptoms in Huntington's disease: a combined diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) study"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Sprengelmeyer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Orth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.-P.","family":"M\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.
