“…Moreover, this typical negative deflection after feedback is also referred to as reward positivity (RewP), i.e., a negative deflection that is more positive for rewards than losses (Proudfit 2015 ). In line with findings on reduced FRN amplitudes in depressed patients, depressive symptoms have been found to be linked to reduced RewP amplitudes (Proudfit, 2015 ; Weiß et al 2020 ), reflecting reduced sensitivity to reward and positive feedback in depressed individuals (Proudfit et al 2015 ). In healthy participants, we could replicate the typical finding of a larger amplitude after negative than positive feedback.…”

Investigating mechanisms of cognitive control training: neural signatures of PASAT performance in depressed patients

2021

Major depression disorder (MDD) is characterized by cognitive control (CC) dysfunctions associated with increased attention toward negative information. The paced auditory serial addition task (PASAT) has been used as a targeted training of CC and studies show promising effects on depressive symptoms. However, neural mechanisms underlying its efficacy are still unclear. Based on previous findings of feedback-locked event-related potentials in healthy subjects, we investigated neural signatures during PASAT performance in 46 depressed patients. We found significantly larger amplitudes after negative than positive feedback for the P300 and late positive potential (LPP). However, this difference was not significant for the feedback-related negativity (FRN). Moreover, no associations of valence-specific ERPs and PASAT performance nor depressive symptoms were found. This indicates that depressed patients seem unable to use neural activation in late feedback processing stages (P300, LPP) to adapt accordingly. Moreover, lack of valence-specific neural reaction in early feedback processing stages (FRN) might point toward emotional indifference in depressed patients.Trial registration number: NCT03518749 Date of registration: May 8, 2018.

“…Studies (Alexopoulos et al, 2012; Boksem & de Cremer, 2010; Fabre et al, 2015; Hewig et al, 2011; Hu et al, 2014; Osinsky et al, 2013; Polezzi et al, 2008; Qu et al, 2013; Riepl et al, 2016; Wang et al, 2017) analyzing ERPs during the UG have reported mainly two components: the Medial Frontal Negativity (MFN) and a parietal positivity that authors refer to as P3, P300, or Late Positive Potential (LPP) (here, we will use the term P3/LPP). (Note that other components, in particular the P2 (Weiß et al, 2019; Weiß, Mussel, & Hewig, 2020; Weiß, Rodrigues, et al, 2020) and the N2 (Weiß et al, 2019; Weiß, Mussel, & Hewig, 2020) have also been reported in some studies using a modified version of the UG). The MFN typically presents a frontocentral distribution and latency of 200–350 ms after stimuli onset and shows greater negativity for negative than for positive events (Glazer et al, 2018).…”

“…However, others studies have observed a diminished MFN effect (difference between task conditions) in depression and anxiety, possibly linked to a negative bias in outcome expectation (Foti & Hajcak, 2009;Gu et al, 2010;Miraghaie et al, 2022). Finally, studies have also reported decreased MFN amplitudes in MD during positive stimuli, related to dysfunctional reward processing (Brush et al, 2018;Foti & Hajcak, 2009;Liu et al, 2014;Weiß, Rodrigues, et al, 2020). Interestingly, a recent study (Brush et al, 2018) assessed trial-level changes in MFN responses to rewarding stimuli in MD, finding a blunted increase of the MFN amplitude to rewards over time.…”

“…The final sample included 135 university students (age = 18-35 years), comprising a group of participants with symptoms of MD and/or SA (MD/SA group, n = 63) and a group of healthy controls (n = 72) (see Supplementary Materials for details of recruitment). This sample size was the maximal that could be recruited with the available funding and is similar (or even larger) compared to previous EEG studies (Brush et al, 2018;Klawohn et al, 2020;Luo et al, 2014;Weiß, Rodrigues, et al, 2020) looking at the effect of psychopathology. Inclusion criteria for the MD/SA group were: (a) satisfying MINI-Plus (Ferrando et al, 2004;Sheehan et al, 1998) criteria for an episode of major depression and scoring ≥14 on the BDI-II (Beck et al, 1996;Sanz et al, 2003), and/or (b) satisfying MINI-Plus criteria for social anxiety and scoring ≥55 on the LSAS (Heimberg et al, 1999;Zubeidat et al, 2008).…”

Event‐related potentials during the ultimatum game in people with symptoms of depression and/or social anxiety

et al. 2023

Depression and social anxiety are common disorders that have a profound impact on social functioning. The need for studying the neural substrates of social interactions in mental disorders using interactive tasks has been emphasized. The field of neuroeconomics, which combines neuroscience techniques and behavioral economics multiplayer tasks such as the Ultimatum Game (UG), can contribute in this direction. We assessed emotions, behavior, and Event-Related Potentials in participants with depression and/or social anxiety symptoms (MD/SA, n = 63, 57 females) and healthy controls (n = 72, 67 females), while they played the UG.F I G U R E 1 Ultimatum Game. (a) In each trial, the participant was presented with a silhouette representing the proposer allocated to the trial. Subsequently, the participant was presented with the offer made by this proposer. After 1500 ms from the start of the offer screen, the buttons appeared, and the participant was allowed to respond by pressing the "YES" (in Spanish, "SI") or "NO" button. Once the button was pressed, it turned yellow. Event-Related Potentials were measured locked to offer presentation. (b) Mean rejections (number of offers rejected) and (c) mean reaction times to offers. Error bars depict one standard error of the mean.

Context Modulates Perceived Fairness in Altruistic Punishment: Neural Signatures from ERPs and EEG Oscillations

Social norms and altruistic punitive behaviours are both based on the integration of information from multiple contexts. Individual behavioural performance can be altered by loss and gain contexts, which produce different mental states and subjective perceptions. In this study, we used event-related potential and time-frequency techniques to examine performance on a third-party punishment task and to explore the neural mechanisms underlying context-dependent differences in punishment decisions. The results indicated that individuals were more likely to reject unfairness in the context of loss (vs. gain) and to increase punishment as unfairness increased. In contrast, fairness appeared to cause an early increase in cognitive control signal enhancement, as indicated by the P2 amplitude and theta oscillations, and a later increase in emotional and motivational salience during decision-making in gain vs. loss contexts, as indicated by the medial frontal negativity and beta oscillations. In summary, individuals were more willing to sanction violations of social norms in the loss context than in the gain context and rejecting unfair losses induced more equity-related cognitive con ict than accepting unfair gains, highlighting the importance of context (i.e., gain vs. loss) in equity-related social decision-making processes.
