Abstract Human neuroscience research remains largely preoccupied with mapping distinct brain areas to complex psychological processes and features of mental health disorders. While this reductionist localizationist perspective has resulted in several substantive contributions the field, it long been viewed as only a piece puzzle.

Abstract Background Predicting future states of psychopathology such as depressive episodes has been a hallmark initiative in mental health research. Dynamical systems theory proposed that rises certain ‘early warning signals’ (EWSs) time-series data (e.g. auto-correlation, temporal variance, network connectivity) may precede impending changes disorder severity. The current study investigates whether these EWSs over time are associated with severity among group patients major (MDD). Methods...
The aim of the current study was to investigate effects reappraisal, acceptance, and rumination for regulating anger sadness on decision-making. Participants (N = 165) were asked recall two autobiographical events in which they felt intense sadness, respectively. then instructed reappraise, accept, ruminate, or not use any strategies regulate their feelings sadness. Following this manipulation, risk aversion, decision-making measured using a computer-based measure risk-taking simulated...
