<h3>Context</h3> Amygdala and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC) dysfunction manifests in adolescents with anxiety disorders when they view negatively valenced stimuli threatening contexts. Such fear-circuitry may also manifest anticipated social evaluation leads socially anxious to misperceive peers as threatening. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine whether photographs of evaluated smiling viewed during engage the amygdala vlPFC differentially without anxiety. <h3>Design</h3> Case-control...
The human gut microbiota has been implicated in most aspects of health and disease; however, the bacteria this community are considered unculturable, so studies have relied on molecular-based methods. These methods generally do not permit isolation organisms, which is required to fully explore functional roles for definitive association with host phenotypes. Using a combination culture 16S rRNA gene sequencing, referred as culture-enriched molecular profiling, we show that majority...
<h3>Context</h3> Few studies directly compare amygdala function in depressive and anxiety disorders. Data from longitudinal research emphasize the need for such adolescents. <h3>Objective</h3> To response to varying attention emotion conditions among adolescents with major disorder (MDD) or disorders, relative no psychopathology. <h3>Design</h3> Case-control study. <h3>Setting</h3> Government clinical institute. <h3>Participants</h3> Eighty-seven matched on age, sex, intelligence, social...
To establish the direction and etiology of longitudinal associations between sleep problems depression symptoms in children.
Most teenage fears subside with age, a change that may reflect brain maturation in the service of refined fear learning. Whereas adults clearly demarcate safe situations from real dangers, attenuating to former but not latter, adolescents’ immaturity prefrontal cortex function limit their ability form clear-cut threat categories, allowing pervasive manifest. Here we developed discrimination learning paradigm assesses categorize safety cues test these hypotheses on age differences...
For most people, adolescence is synonymous with emotional turmoil and it has been shown that early difficulties emotion regulation can lead to persistent problems for some people. This suggests intervention during development might reduce long-term negative consequences those individuals. Recent research highlighted the suitability of real-time fMRI-based neurofeedback (NF) in training (ER) networks adults. However, its usefulness directly influencing plasticity maturing ER remains unclear....
Cognitive bias modification (CBM) has evolved from an experimental method testing cognitive mechanisms of psychopathology to a promising tool for accessible digital mental health care. While we are still discovering the conditions under which clinically relevant effects occur, dire need accessible, effective, and low-cost tools underscores implementation where such available. Providing our expert opinion as Association Bias Modification members, first discuss readiness different CBM...
Background: Parenting factors may be important to the development of attributional style in adolescence, which turn relates depression symptoms. These relationships have mainly been considered terms social risk mechanisms, and little is known about role genetic influences. Method: Self‐reported measures style, symptoms parental disciplinary styles were administered over 1300 adolescent twin sibling pairs. Model‐fitting techniques used examine environmental Results: Moderate influences on...
Background: Genetic risks for depression may be expressed through greater exposure towards environmental stressors (gene–environment correlation, rGE) and increased susceptibility to these interaction, G × E). While effects are often studied independently, evidence supports their co‐occurrence on depression. Methods: Adolescent twin sibling data was used assess correlations interactions between genetic depressive symptoms two putative stressors: dependent negative life events maternal...
Background: Negative biases in the interpretation of ambiguous material have been linked to anxiety and mood problems. Accumulating data from adults show that positive negative styles can be induced through cognitive bias modification (CBM) paradigms with accompanying changes mood. Despite therapeutic potential training effects, not yet explored adolescents. Methods: Eighty-two healthy adolescents (aged 13–17 years) were randomly allocated either or CBM training. To assess effects on bias,...
In a range of contexts, individuals arrive at collective decisions by sharing confidence in their judgements. This tendency to evaluate the reliability information with which it is expressed has been termed 'confidence heuristic'. We tested two ways implementing heuristic context perceptual decision-making task: either directly, opting for judgement made higher confidence, or indirectly, faster judgement, exploiting an inverse correlation between and reaction time. found that success these...
