Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with abnormal functional interactions among large-scale brain networks. Here we report findings from a randomized, active-controlled trial examining whether mindfulness-based therapy can regulate specific patterns of resting-state functional connectivity in clinically depressed patients. We show that a brief, clinically effective mindfulness intervention functionally decouples top-down control regions from brain areas implicated in sensory, affective, and attentional processing. While previous work has demonstrated the clinical impact of mindfulness training, the present findings shed light on the precise neural targets, providing new insight into the specificity of this therapeutic approach.

Disrupted bodily awareness may reflect mechanisms which drive both symptomatology and disorder maintenance in clinical depression. We investigated attentional capture by somatic signals in clinically depressed individuals and healthy controls as one aspect of bodily awareness. Attentional performance in a cross-modal covert orienting task was globally disrupted when depressed participants attempted to ignore uninformative somatic cues, in a largely modality-specific manner. In a subsequent study employing a similar paradigm, attention was disproportionately captured in depressed participants by informative somatic cues, in a similarly modality-specific way. Taken together, the results suggest that the salience of somatic signals is amplified in clinical depression, and that attempts to ignore them may have a disruptive effect on attentional processing more generally in this population.
