Risk for depression and neural responses to fearful facial expressions of emotion
Open accessAbstract
Background: Depression is associated with neural abnormalities in emotional processing. Aims: This study explored whether these abnormalities underlie risk for depression. Method: We compared the neural responses of volunteers who were at high and low-risk for the development of depression (by virtue of high and low neuroticism scores; high-N group and low-N group respectively) during the presentation of fearful and happy faces using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Results: The high-N group demonstrated linear increases in response in the right fusiform gyrus and left middle temporal gyrus to expressions of increasing fear, whereas the low-N group demonstrated the opposite effect. The high-N group also displayed greater responses in the right amygdala, cerebellum, left middle frontal and bilateral parietal gyri to medium levels of fearful v. happy expressions. Conclusions: Risk for depression is associated with enhanced neural responses to fearful facial expressions similar to those observed in acute depression.

“Similarly, people vulnerable to depression via the personality trait of neuroticism show enhanced amygdala responses to fearful faces (Chan et al., 2009), disrupted coupling of amygdala and ACC in response to emotional faces (Cremers et al., 2010) and abnormal patterns of ACC response during categorisation and memory of negative words (Chan 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.
