“…ERP studies on emotional Stroop interference in healthy individuals have typically explored attentional processes and have indicated early as well as later effects of emotional interference of Stroop stimuli (Bar-Haim et al, 2007;Franken et al, 2009;Sass et al, 2010;Taake et al, 2009;Thomas et al, 2007;van Hooff et al, 2008). Early effects (≤300 ms after stimulus presentation) include increased early positive amplitudes, like the P1 Taake et al, 2009;Thomas et al, 2007) and P2 (Carretié et al, 2001), as well as increased negative amplitudes, like the early posterior negativity around 200-300 ms (Franken et al, 2009). The early emotion effects indicate that emotional content of words is evaluated at an early stage of processing even if the meaning of the words has to be ignored.…”

“…One study found broadly distributed greater negativity 500-600 ms during interference trials, believed to reflect suppression of meaning representations (van Hooff, et al, 2008). Another reported increased fronto-central negativity across stimuli during threat/ neutral blocks than positive/ neutral blocks, 350-400 ms over fronto-central scalp, in a high anxiety sensitivity group, interpreted to indicate suppression of competing responses (Taake, et al, 2009). Participants with anxiety disorders typically exhibit robust interference (Williams, et al, 1996), and therefore futher studies are justified, to examine whether qualitaitve information-processing differences occur in clinical disorders.…”

Neural time course of threat-related attentional bias and interference in panic and obsessive–compulsive disorders

Attentional biases to threat are considered central to anxiety disorders, however physiological evidence of their nature and time course is lacking. Event-related potentials (ERPs) characterized sensory and cognitive changes while 20 outpatients with panic disorder (PD), 20 with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and 20 healthy controls (HCs) responded to the color (emotional Stroop task) or meaning of threatening and neutral stimuli. ERPs indicated larger P1 amplitude and longer N1 latency in OCD, and shorter P1 latency in PD, to threatening (versus neutral) stimuli, across instructions to attend to, or ignore, threat content. Emotional Stroop interference correlated with phobic anxiety and was significant in PD. Participants with emotional Stroop interference had augmented P1 and P3 amplitudes to threat (versus neutral) stimuli when color-naming. The results suggest early attentional biases to threat in both disorders, with disorder-specific characteristics. ERPs supported preferential early attentional capture and cognitive elaboration hypotheses of emotional Stroop interference.

Stathmin 1 (STMN1) is a neuronal growth associated protein (NGAP) that is involved in microtubule dynamics and plays an important role in neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. It is highly expressed in the amygdala, but also in different areas of the neocortex including the frontal lobe. Based on previous findings regarding an impact of STMN1 on fear processing, the present study aimed at extending the evidence concerning its functional role to include the domain of executive (frontal lobe) functions. To this end, a group of 59 healthy volunteers stratified for the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs182455 of the STMN1 gene was examined by means of three experimental paradigms probing different aspects of cognitive-affective functioning. Event-related potential measures of cognitive response control, emotional interference processing, and action monitoring were analyzed. STMN1 genotype significantly affected the NoGo-anteriorization (NGA)-a neurophysiological marker of cognitive response control associated with medial prefrontal cortex activation-as well as the modulation of the P300 by the valence of emotional Stroop stimuli. In both cases, carriers of the rs182455 C-allele showed altered cognitive-affective processing; effects appeared to be more pronounced in females. Our findings indicate a functional impact of STMN1 on cognitive and affective control processes, thereby complementing previous evidence on its role in fear processing. Based on these results, an influence of STMN1 should be considered in studies aiming at the etiopathogenesis of a broad range of neuropsychiatric disorders with dysfunctional networking, including neurodegenerative disorders as well as schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, and ADHD.
