Social information processing is important for successful romantic relationships and protection against depression, and depends on functional connectivity (FC) within and between large-scale networks. Functional architecture evident at rest is adaptively reconfigured during a task, and there were two possible associations between brain reconfiguration and behavioral performance during neurocognitive tasks (efficiency effect and distraction-based effect). This study examined the relationships between brain reconfiguration during social information processing and relationship-specific and more general social outcomes in marriage. Resting-state FC was compared with FC during social information processing (watching relationship-specific and general emotional stimuli) of 29 heterosexual couples, and the FC similarity (reconfiguration efficiency) was examined in relation to marital quality and depression 13 months later. The results indicated that wives’ reconfiguration efficiency (globally and in visual association network) during relationship-specific stimuli processing was related to their own marital quality. Higher reconfiguration efficiency (globally and in medial frontal, frontal-parietal, default mode, motor/sensory and salience networks) in wives during general emotional stimuli processing was related to their lower depression. These findings suggest efficiency effects on social outcomes during social cognition, especially among married women. The efficiency effects on relationship-specific and more general outcomes are, respectively, higher during relationship-specific stimuli or general emotional stimuli processing.

有效的大脑连接重构可预测更高的婚姻质量和更低的抑郁症


社交信息处理对于成功的恋爱关系和预防抑郁非常重要，并且依赖于大型网络内部和之间的功能连接（FC）。休息时明显的功能结构在任务期间会自适应地重新配置，并且在神经认知任务期间大脑重新配置和行为表现之间存在两种可能的关联（效率效应和基于分心的效应）。这项研究探讨了社会信息处理过程中大脑的重新配置与婚姻中特定关系和更普遍的社会结果之间的关系。将 29 对异性恋夫妇的静息状态 FC 与社会信息处理（观察特定关系和一般情绪刺激）期间的 FC 进行比较，并在 13 个月后检查 FC 相似性（重构效率）与婚姻质量和抑郁的关系。结果表明，妻子在特定关系刺激处理过程中的重新配置效率（全局和视觉关联网络）与其自身的婚姻质量有关。妻子在一般情绪刺激处理过程中较高的重构效率（整体和内侧额叶、额顶叶、默认模式、运动/感觉和显着网络）与其较低的抑郁症有关。这些发现表明，在社会认知过程中，效率对社会结果产生影响，尤其是在已婚女性中。在特定关系刺激或一般情绪刺激处理过程中，对特定关系和更一般结果的效率影响分别较高。
