Early adverse life (EAL) events and sex have been identified as vulnerability factors for the development of several stress-sensitive disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We aimed to identify disease and sex-based differences in resting state (RS) connectivity associated with EALs in individuals with IBS. A history of EALs before age 18 was assessed using the early trauma inventory. RS functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to identify patterns of intrinsic brain oscillations in the form of RS networks in 168 people (58 IBS, 28 females; and 110 healthy controls, 72 females). Partial Least Squares, a multivariate analysis technique was used to identify disease and sex differences and possible correlations between EALs and functional connectivity in six identified RS networks. Associations between EALs and RS networks were observed. While a history of EALs was associated with altered connectivity in the salience/executive control network to a similar extent in male and female IBS patients (Bootstrap ratio [BSR]=3.28-5.61; p=.046), male IBS patients demonstrated additional EAL-related alterations in the cerebellar network (BSR=3.92-6.79; p=.022). This cross sectional study identified correlations between RS networks and EALs in individuals with IBS. These results suggest that exposure to EALs before age 18 can shape adult RS in both male and female patients in the salience/executive control network, a brain network that has been implicated in the pathophysiology of central pain amplification.
