Abstract

Tasks requiring subjects to attend emotional attributes of words have been used to study mood-congruent information processing biases in anxiety and affective disorders. In this study we adapted an emotional go/no-go task, for use with fMRI to assess the neural substrates of focusing on emotional attributes of words in normal subjects. The key findings were that responding to targets defined on the basis of meaning of words compared to targets defined on the basis of perceptual features was associated with response in inferior frontal gyrus and dorsal anterior cingulate. Further, selecting emotional targets, whether happy or sad, was associated with enhanced response in the subgenual cingulate, while happy targets elicited enhanced neural response in ventral anterior cingulate. These findings reaffirm the importance of medial prefrontal regions in normal emotional processing.

  • A consistently reported finding in mood disorders is a mood-congruent processing bias, defined as a tendency to bias stimulus processing towards negative information as compared to positive or neutral information.

    “A consistently reported finding in mood disorders is a mood-congruent processing bias, which is defined as a tendency to bias stimulus processing towards negative information as compared to positive or neutral information (Elliott et al. 2000; Murphy et al. 1999; Murray et al. 1999).”

    From Brain structural and functional abnormalities in mood disorders: implications for neurocircuitry models of depression (2008) · cites this paper as Elliott et al. 2000

    The Introduction reports a bias toward negative information in patients with depression, consistent with that part of the claim. But it also reports a contrasting bias toward positive information in patients with mania, so a negative bias does not describe mood disorders generally. The paper’s own fMRI study examined healthy controls, not patients with mood disorders. (LLM, conf=0.87)

  • Ventral ACC is a critical area for modulating emotional biasing effects on cognition.

    “Using an affective Go/NoGo task, Elliott et al. (2000) also identified ventral ACC as a critical area for modulating emotional biasing effects on cognition, a finding corroborated by a recent study (Chiu et al., 2008).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
