“…Briefly, depressed individuals showed blunted LPPs to threatening expressions [17] , decreased slow waves (LPP-like) while processing positive words [44] as well as enhanced LPPs to negative versus positive words [82] . Others found that individuals with recurrent MDD exhibited smaller slow waves to positive and negative words [83] . Finally, no effect of positive or negative pictures on an LPP-like component in MDD versus controls has been found [84] .…”

Background: Depression, which is associated with dysfunctional serotonin (5-HT) activity, may be characterized by impaired emotional information processing. This study assessed the effects of acute tryptophan depletion (TRP–), which transiently lowers CNS 5-HT, on the emotion-sensitive vertex positive potential (VPP) and late positive potential (LPP) event-related potentials (ERPs) and mood in individuals with a family history of depression. The VPP and LPP are thought to index the early and later stages of motivated attentional processing, respectively. Method: Within a double-blind balanced design, ERPs were acquired in 18 individuals with a family history of depression (12 females) after TRP– and TRP+ (balanced) treatment while participants were presented with facial expressions (neutral, as well as sad, joy and surprise at 50 and 100% intensity) and responded to surprised faces. Results: TRP– increased total mood disturbance and maintained depression scores. The VPP and LPP were larger to intense versus mild expressions. Enhanced processing of emotional versus neutral faces, as indexed by the VPP, was primarily evident with TRP–. Speeded and enhanced processing of intensely joyful versus mildly sad faces was found with TRP– (VPP indexed). Compared with TRP+, TRP also increased the VPP to mildly joyful faces. Conclusion: Transient 5-HT decreases in individuals with a family history of depression induce subtle changes in early stages of motivated emotional processing, though not in later ones.

“…It is wellestablished that cognitive processing can be influenced by the unconscious pessimistic or negative schemata (Nandrino et al 2004). Indeed, states of depression are related to a cognitive bias reactivity to emotional events (Chen et al 2014a), and exist a mood-brightening effect (Bylsma et al 2011).…”

“…Thus, converging evidence consistently suggests that these different neural pathways devoted to emotional modulation may be associated with behavioral evidence for gender differences in emotional processing (Gur et al 2002). Recently, data from previous studies have indicated that the depressive effect is considered to originate from the negative schemata (Nandrino et al 2004). MDD is thought to a negative cognitive bias that is specific to the processing of sad faces (Hankin et al 2010;Dai et al 2011;Mingtian et al 2011).…”

States of depression are considered to relate to a cognitive bias reactivity to emotional events. Moreover, gender effect may influence differences in emotional processing. The current study is to investigate whether there is an interaction of cognitive bias by gender on emotional processing in minor depression (MiD) and major depression (MaD). N170 component was obtained during a visual emotional oddball paradigm to manipulate the processing of emotional information in 33 MiD, 36 MaD, and 32 controls (CN). Compared with CN, in male, both MiD and MaD had lower N170 amplitudes for happy faces, but MaD had higher N170 amplitudes for sad faces; in female, both MiD and MaD had lower N170 amplitudes for happy and neutral faces, but higher N170 amplitudes for sad faces. Compared with MaD in male, MiD had higher N170 amplitudes for happy faces, lower N170 amplitudes for sad faces; in female, MiD only had higher N170 amplitudes for sad faces. Interestingly, a negative relationship was observed between N170 amplitude and the HDRS score for identification of happy faces in depressed patients while N170 amplitude was positively correlated with the HDRS score for sad faces identification. These results provide novel evidence for the mood-brightening effect with an interaction of cognitive bias by gender on emotional processing. It further suggests that female depression may be more vulnerable than male during emotional face processing with the unconscious negative cognitive bias and depressive syndromes may exist on a spectrum of severity on emotional face processing.

“…They found that individuals with depression direct more of their attention toward negative and depressing stimuli. This finding may help explain the increased sensitivity and attention to negative events that individuals with depression display (e.g., Nandrino, Dodin, Martin, & Henniaux, 2004).…”

The neuropsychological basis of childhood psychopathology

A clear link exists between neurological dysfunction and psychopathology in children, as evidenced by research on the sequelae of developmental childhood brain impairment, the neuropsychological investigation of children with psychiatric disorders, and neuroimaging research. Understanding the neuropsychological basis of a disorder helps teachers, parents, and children better understand the etiology of the disorder and guide classroom interventions. Additionally, identifying morphological markers of childhood mental disorders may lead to earlier and more successful interventions. This article reviews the neuropsychological relationships between brain impairment and childhood mental disorders as well as investigates the biological basis for some common childhood disorders seen in the schools. Emphasis is placed upon the underlying neurological and neuropsychological deficits that constitute disorders, and implications for practitioners are discussed. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.More sensitive and less expensive methods of analyzing the structure of the brain and corresponding neurobehavioral functions such as positron emission tomography (PET) scans, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (f MRI) are leading to an increased understanding of the etiology and expression of childhood psychopathology. Combined with the improving sophistication and psychometric qualities of neuropsychological test instruments, it should be easier for school psychologists to assess, diagnose, and treat a wider range of mental disorders that are seen in the schools. Increasing a school psychologist's knowledge about the biological basis of common childhood psychopathology should facilitate communication with neurologists, neurosurgeons, and other medical personnel who entrust the care of their patients in the schools to school psychologists. Another advantage of sharing knowledge between the fields of medicine and psychology is that for many disorders which are traditionally seen to be in the physician's domain, cognitive signs and symptoms are the first indication of a problem. For example, there is currently no effective genetic, or DNA, test for autism. A diagnosis is currently dependent upon noting a wide array of cognitive, behavioral, and social-emotional differences. However, recent neuroimaging studies are linking autism to morphological brain markers that may enable psychologists to intervene at earlier and hence more successful levels. This article will review some neuropsychological and neurological bases of some of the more common mental disorders seen in the schools. Due to the breadth of material to be covered, this article is not intended to be a complete description of the symptoms, etiology, neurological basis, and treatment options of each disorder. Furthermore, most modern neuropsychological processing theories venture beyond the simple "localization of impairment approach" to embrace the interconnectedness of different brain areas (e.g., Luria, 1973).
