Altered Brain Activity in Unipolar Depression Revisited

Abstract: IMPORTANCE During the past 20 years, numerous neuroimaging experiments have investigated aberrant brain activation during cognitive and emotional processing in patients with unipolar depression (UD). The results of those investigations, however, vary considerably; moreover, previous meta-analyses also yielded inconsistent findings. OBJECTIVE To readdress aberrant brain activation in UD as evidenced by neuroimaging experiments on cognitive and/or emotional processing. DATA SOURCES Neuroimaging experiments p… Show more

“…The most recent meta‐analysis of 65 neuroimaging studies on emotional processing in unipolar depression published by Müller et al has failed to reveal any significant results across all experiments and separately for those reporting increases and decreases in patients compared with healthy controls as well as for Neg and Pos valence, emotional faces, and sex discrimination tasks. As the authors argue, this failure might be explained by the differences in experimental designs, study populations, sample size, and statistical inference.…”

“…the current reports on neuroimaging in unipolar depression provide no explicit data [45]. the criteria for diagnosing depression do not include the results of any neuroimaging studies, but these examinations may be useful in the exclusion of organic disorders in which mood changes may occur.…”

“…A systematic review of the literature indicates that most published findings are anecdotal, irreproducible and inconsistent, especially in the behavioral neurosciences (Ioannidis, 2011; Rosmalen and Oldehinkel, 2011; Ioannidis et al, 2014b; Sundström Poromaa and Gingnell, 2014; Müller et al, 2017). Nevertheless, many researchers tend to selectively review the literature (Tatsioni et al, 2007; Jannot et al, 2013) and to uncritically draw conclusions that are not sufficiently supported by the literature (Ioannidis et al, 2007; Saraga and Stiefel, 2011; Chalmers et al, 2014).…”

“…Original studies subjecting psychological and medical research to close scrutiny have indeed provided ample evidence that many, and sometimes even a majority, of published findings are irreproducible, false positive, or severely inflated (Ioannidis, 2005b; Turner et al, 2008; Munafo et al, 2009; Bakker et al, 2012; Begley and Ellis, 2012; Open Science Collaboration, 2015; Müller et al, 2017); for reviews see (Nosek et al, 2012; Macleod et al, 2014; Naci and Ioannidis, 2015). More specifically, Open Science Collaboration (2015) tried to replicate 100 original studies published in 2008 in three leading psychology journals.…”
