Various cognitive and emotional factors shape our perception of time. Notably, individuals experiencing depressive symptoms often report changes in their time perception, characterized by a phenomenon termed dilation - subjective slowing temporal flow. However, research on this topic yields conflicting inconclusive findings, leaving the mechanisms behind altered depression largely unknown. This study aims to explore neural dynamics underlying influence experiences relation symptomatology....

Abstract Humans can decode emotional states from the body odors of conspecifics and this type communication is particularly relevant in conditions which social interactions are impaired, as depression anxiety. The present study aimed to explore how collected happiness fearful modulate subjective ratings, psychophysiological response neural processing neutral faces individuals with depressive symptoms, anxiety healthy controls ( N = 22 per group). To aim, electrocardiogram (ECG) HD-EEG were...

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is strongly associated with cognitive impairment, which a core feature of depression, highly prevalent in patients CHD. Interestingly, CHD and individuals depression display reduced rate variability (HRV), proxies complex network integrating autonomic attentional systems. This study investigated the moderating role depressive symptoms relation between HRV performance CHD.The sample included 274 (mean [standard deviation] age = 62 [9.5] years; 13 % women) admitted...

ABSTRACT Objective Poor vagally mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV) is a mechanism linking depression to coronary disease (CHD). Reduced vmHRV also considered an index of emotion dysregulation—the frequent use maladaptive regulation strategies, one the most important being expressive suppression—which key component depression. Therefore, this study aimed investigate moderating role suppression in relation between and patients with CHD. Methods The sample included 235 CHD (mean [standard...

<title>Abstract</title> Human body odors are an effective modality of social communication. Individuals exposed to emotional report a partial reproduction the affective state sender. The present study aimed explore how collected in happiness and fearful conditions modulate subjective ratings, psychophysiological response neural processing neutral faces individuals with depressive symptoms, anxiety healthy controls (N = 22 per group). To this aim, electrocardiogram (ECG) HD-EEG were recorded...

Abstract Depression is associated with altered processing of emotional stimuli, often detected by changes in late positive potential (LPP) features. However, evidence on LPP amplitude and latency individuals depressive symptoms shows inconsistencies. These may stem from the heterogeneity inherent to conditions, which were primarily investigated terms severity. Somatic cognitive-affective symptoms, our knowledge, have not been properly accounted for. 66 absent severe presented pictures...

Abstract Depression is a leading worldwide cause of mental disorders and disability, strongly affecting emotional processing regulation. Its dysfunctional psycho-physiological dynamics may be part the nervous-system-wise symptomatology, impacting not only patients’ psyche but also significantly influencing functional cardiovascular dynamics. Therefore, depression serves as an exemplary pathological manifestation interaction between central autonomic nervous systems. While recent literature...

<title>Abstract</title> Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is one of the most common psychological disorders. The multiplicity its clinical patterns, varieties symptoms and different types evolution generate many diagnostic difficulties. Currently, MDD assessment performed through use scales interviews with patient. This highlights need to adopt methods that can make an objective, rapid effective diagnosis. Mental disorders embodiment alter brain processes are related cognition therefore motor...

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> There is a clear need for enhanced mental health assessment, depressive symptom evaluation being no exception. A promising approach to this aim utilising Virtual Reality (VR), that entails the potential of adding wider set assessment domains with ecological validity. However, whilst several studies have utilised VR both diagnostic and treatment purposes, its acceptance, in particular how exposure virtual environments affect populations psychiatric conditions...

However, whilst several studies have used VR both diagnostic and treatment purposes, its acceptance, in particular how exposure environments affects populations psychiatric conditions remains unknown.
