Abstract Mental and physical (MAP) training is a novel clinical intervention that combines mental through meditation aerobic exercise. The was translated from neuroscientific studies indicating MAP increases neurogenesis in the adult brain. Each session consisted of 30 min focused-attention (FA) moderate-intensity Fifty-two participants completed 8-week intervention, which two sessions per week. Following individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD; n =22) reported significantly less...
Abstract Deficits within the consummatory phase of reward processing are associated with increased depression symptoms and risk; however, few studies have also examined other aspects in relation to depression. In current study, a community sample 121 adolescents ( M age = 13.1, Min 11.14; Max 15.12; 54% male) completed self‐report questionnaires assess depressive monetary incentive delay (MID) task while EEG was recorded. Results indicated that reduced cue‐P300 as well positivity (RewP)...
The purpose of this study was to examine possible dose-response and time course effects an acute bout resistance exercise on the core executive functions inhibition, working memory, cognitive flexibility. Twenty-eight participants (14 female; Mage = 20.5 ± 2.1 years) completed a control condition bouts performed at 40%, 70%, 100% their individual 10-repetition maximum. An function test battery administered 15 min 180 postexercise assess immediate delayed functioning. At postexercise,...
Aberrant reward processing is a cardinal feature of various forms psychopathology. However, recent research indicates that aberrant may manifest at temporally distinct substages and involve interdependent subcomponents processing. To improve our understanding both the temporal dynamics processing, we added an effort manipulation to "doors" reward-task paradigm, derive behavioral event-related potential (ERP) measures effort-based Behavioral consisting reaction time, response rate, rate...
Abstract Neurocognitive impairments commonly observed in depressive disorders are thought to be reflected reduced P300 amplitudes. To date, depression‐related amplitude reduction has mostly been demonstrated cross‐sectionally, while its clinical implication for the course of depression remains largely unclear. Moreover, relationship between and specific characteristics is uncertain. shed light on functional significance depression, we examined whether initial prospectively predicted changes...
Individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) often ruminate about past experiences, especially those negative content. These repetitive thoughts may interfere cognitive processes related to attention and conflict monitoring. However, the temporal nature of these as reflected in event-related potentials (ERPs) has not been well described. We examined behavioral ERP indices monitoring during a modified flanker task allocation an attentional blink (AB) 33 individuals MDD 36 healthy...
Abstract Background Aerobic exercise has demonstrated antidepressant efficacy among adults with major depression. There is a poor understanding of the neural mechanisms associated these effects. Deficits in reward processing and cognitive control may be two candidate targets predictors treatment outcome to Methods Sixty-six young aged 20.23 years ( s.d. = 2.39) depression were randomized 8 weeks moderate-intensity aerobic n 35) or light stretching 31). Depressive symptoms assessed across...
Life stress and blunted reward processing each have been associated with the onset maintenance of major depressive disorder. However, much this work has cross-sectional, conducted in separate lines inquiry, focused on recent life stressor exposure, despite fact that theories depression posit stressors can cumulative effects over lifespan. To address these limitations, we investigated whether acute chronic occurring lifespan interacted to predict increases time healthy youth.Participants were...
The error-related negativity (ERN) reflects individual differences in error monitoring. However, findings on the ERN adult and adolescent depression have been inconsistent. Analyzing electroencephalographic (EEG) data both time- time-frequency domain can be useful to better quantify neural response errors. present study aimed at examining electrocortical measures of monitoring early adolescents with without depression.EEG activity was collected during an arrowhead version flanker task 29 (25...
In the current article, we examined impact of two home-delivered attentional-bias-modification (ABM) programs on a biomarker anxiety (i.e., error-related negativity [ERN]). The ERN is sensitivity to ABM-related changes; however, it unclear whether ABM exerts its influence and by increasing general attentional control or disengaging spatial allocation attention. this study, measured ERN, anxiety, attention bias, before after versions training waitlist group in 546 adolescents. An designed...
Reduced neural responses to reward and pleasant stimuli-indicators of anhedonia reduced emotional reactivity, respectively-have been reported among individuals with depressive disorders. The current study examined whether these measures could prospectively predict the course depression a community-based sample 83 participants diagnosed disorder. At initial assessment, performed both guessing task elicit positivity (RewP) picture viewing paradigm neutral pictures measure late positive...
In recent years, advancements in neuroscientific methods have led to considerable progress with regard the nature of relationship between exercise and cognitive function. This review focuses on several components event-related potential (ERP) how they can be successfully used better understand subtle aspects cognition that may influenced by regular participation. A select research has incorporated ERPs study chronic participation or cardiorespiratory fitness function is presented followed a...
Abstract Research on cardiac autonomic function in major depressive disorder (MDD) has predominantly examined vagal control and adopted a model of reciprocal balance. A proposed bivariate continuum uses balance (CAB) regulation (CAR) models, derived from normalized values respiratory sinus arrhythmia pre‐ejection period, to more adequately index patterns control. The purpose this study was assess resting levels CAB CAR among young adults with without current diagnosis depression. One hundred...
