- Spatiotemporal unfolding of prefrontal neural response divergence in adolescent depression during naturalistic experience (2026) · doi
Depression alters how emotional experience is interpreted and regulated, yet how depression-related neural divergence unfolds during ongoing experience remains poorly understood, leaving unresolved whether such divergence reflects stable trait-like abnormalities or state-dependent responses that emerge only at particular moments.

Keywords: patients negatively biased cognitions well documented depressed extent recovered remains unclear whether abnormalities present first - Emotion modulates cognitive flexibility in patients with major depression (2011) · doi
Previous research has shown that depressed patients are impaired in their ability to shift attention from one emotional category to another, but whether this shifting deficit is more evident on emotional relative to non-emotional cognitive control tasks remains unclear.

Deficient cognitive control over emotional material and cognitive biases are important mechanisms underlying depression, but the interplay between these emotionally distorted cognitive processes in relation to depressive symptoms is not well understood.
