“…Specifically, these findings suggest that this regulatory process is supported by CO network activity. This is consistent with recent evidence that a blunted neural response to errors – specifically in regions overlapping with the CO network – may enhance risk for depression symptoms under conditions of stress (Sandre et al, 2023).…”

Certain facial expressions express emotional valence clearly, while other expressions such as surprise are ambiguous and can be interpreted as expressing either positive or negative valence. In two studies, we presented a valence bias task in which masked clear and ambiguous emotional expressions were slowly revealed over several seconds. This design allows for investigation of the decision-making mechanisms supporting ambiguity processing as they unfold over the course of a trial. In the main study, the task was administered to 32 young adults in the fMRI environment and BOLD time courses were extracted from regions of interest in three cortical networks previously associated with task control, decision making, and performance reporting. In a follow-up study, the task was administered to a larger, online sample (n = 81) using a more extended slow reveal design with additional unmasking frames. Positive judgments of surprised faces were accompanied by stronger activation in the cingulo-opercular network and slower response times. These results support the initial negativity hypothesis, which posits that the default response to ambiguity is negative, by demonstrating that making positive judgments is an effortful, controlled process that varies according to individual biases.

Depression is transmitted within families, but the mechanisms involved in such transmission are not clearly defined. A potential marker of familial risk is the neural response to errors, which may play a role in depression symptoms and is known to be partially heritable. Here, 97 mother-daughter dyads completed a Flanker task while electroencephalography markers of error monitoring were recorded: the error-related negativity (ERN) and response-locked delta and theta power. We assessed whether these measures of neural response to errors 1) were associated with history of recurrent major depressive disorder (MDD) and current depression symptoms among mothers, 2) were correlated among mother-daughter dyads, and 3) were associated with maternal history of recurrent MDD and maternal symptoms of depression among daughters. A history of recurrent MDD was associated with blunted delta and increased theta among mothers. Across mothers, delta and theta were negatively and positively associated, respectively, with current depression symptoms. Mothers’ and daughters’ ERN were positively correlated. Finally, current maternal depression symptoms were negatively associated with delta power in daughters. These results suggest that neural responses to errors may be implicated in the intergenerational transmission of depression. These results also support the relevance of delta oscillations to understanding pathways to depression.
