“…However, it remains unclear whether this dorsal activation is either decreased or increased during cognitive control operations engaged during the processing of emotional stimuli in currently or remitted depressed patients (Joormann & Gotlib, 2008). While some studies reported hyperactivity in these dorsal regions in depressed patients during cognitive control operations (Chiu & Deldin, 2007;Harvey et al, 2005;Holmes & Pizzagalli, 2008a;Luu, Flaisch, & Tucker, 2000;Liotti, Woldorff, Perez, & Mayberg, 2000), other studies found depressionrelated hypoactivity in these same areas, including the DLPFC and the dACC (Holmes & Pizzagalli, 2008b;Vanderhasselt & De Raedt, 2009). This discrepancy might stem from the fact that these studies focussed on different aspects of cognitive control, including proactive and reactive mechanisms (Braver, Gray, & Burgess, 2007).…”
