Significant Group × Thought Induction interactions in the right executive network. Specifically, individuals with MDD compared with HCs showed less connectivity between the right DLPFC and the right middle frontal gyrus (coordinates: −35, −3.5, 47.5), right frontopolar prefrontal cortex (coordinates: −42, −57.5, 1.5) and the right posterior parietal cortex (−41, 52.5, 26.5) during the external-focus condition. There were no significant group differences during the self-focus condition. MDD, major depressive disorder group; HC, healthy control group; DLPFC, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
