Decreased Response to Positive Facial Affect in a Depressed Cohort in the Dorsal Striatum During a Working Memory Task—A Preliminary fMRI Study

Abstract: People with depression have shown alterations in processing emotional information and working memory functionality. There is some evidence that emotional content may interact with working memory update processes, however neurological correlates are current unknown. In this preliminary study we utilized a novel version of the emotional variant of the n-back working memory task in fMRI. We examined BOLD response of 14 healthy controls and 13 depressed participants in response to happy, sad, and neutral displays … Show more

“…In both mood disorders, a depressive state was associated with a blunted response to positive emotional stimuli 10,49,50,54‐56 and reward expectation compared to healthy individuals, 57 but salience network blunting was more extreme in association with bipolar depression. Depressed adolescents 49 and adults with bipolar disorder 46 had a reduced BOLD response in the insular and middle temporal cortices compared to their healthy peers and those with unipolar depression in association with happy face stimuli.…”

“…Moreover, in audiovisual computer-mediated communication, smiles and emotions can be contagious via facial mimicry (Mui et al, 2018). Nevertheless, the psychological state of the individual can affect the processing of emotional information; for example, people with depression fail to differentiate between positive or nonemotional content (Goodin et al, 2019). However, a recent study showed that negative affective states have a stronger impact on negative emotions than on positive ones (Pinilla et al, 2020).…”

“…The identical face stimuli protocol reported in the Vukusic et al, study [ 63 ] and Goodin et al, study [ 77 ] was used. The stimuli consisted of colored photographs of the faces of four Caucasian models (equal male & female) depicting neutral, happy and sad expressions (with closed mouth exemplars) and were cropped with an oval shape.…”
