Indeed, increased susceptibility to affective triggers has been implicated in the etiology and maintenance of major psychiatric disorders, including depression (e.g., Beauregard et al, 2006;Chiu and Deldin, 2007;Elliott et al, 2002;Holmes and Pizzagalli, 2007;Holmes and Pizzagalli, 2008;Johnstone et al, 2007), post-traumatic stress disorder (e.g., Frewen and Lanius, 2006;Price et al, 2006), and borderline personality disorder (e.g., Conklin et al, 2006;Johnson et al, 2003). Toward the aim of elucidating how emotional response monitoring may be perturbed in psychopathology, the primary goal of the present work was to examine the timecourse and regional specificity of neural processes involved in response inhibition to emotional cues.…”
