Differences between the classes of antidepressant medication in the whole-brain resting-state functional connectivity maps with seed region in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN). Depressed patients with an SSRI demonstrated stronger FC from DRN to the posterior brain regions in contrast to patients taking an SNRI/NaSSA (blue color). In the opposite contrast, patients with an SNRI/NaSSA showed stronger FC to the right DLPF and VLPFC (yellow color). Abbr.: SSRI, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor; SNRI, serotonin and noradrenalin reuptake inhibitor; NaSSA, noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant; DLPFC, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; VLPFC, ventrolateral prefrontal cortex; OCx, occipital cortex; Cereb., cerebellum.
