“…Before discussing the main findings of the current study, it is important to note that behavioral and neural indices of conflict task performance are characterized by good to excellent test–retest reliability (Clayson and Larson, 2013; Wostmann et al, 2013). Given that high test–retest reliability indicates that a certain measure captures trait-like characteristics (Segalowitz and Barnes, 1993), we consider the relationship between WMC and cognitive control abilities observed in the current study to reflect stable cognitive traits.…”

Executive-attention theory proposes a close relationship between working memory capacity (WMC) and cognitive control abilities. However, conflicting results are documented in the literature, with some studies reporting that individual variations in WMC predict differences in cognitive control and trial-to-trial control adjustments (operationalized as the size of the congruency effect and congruency sequence effects, respectively), while others report no WMC-related differences. We hypothesized that brain network dynamics might be a more sensitive measure of WMC-related differences in cognitive control abilities. Thus, in the present study, we measured human EEG during the Simon task to characterize WMC-related differences in the neural dynamics of conflict processing and adaptation to conflict. Although high- and low-WMC individuals did not differ behaviorally, there were substantial WMC-related differences in theta (4–8 Hz) and delta (1–3 Hz) connectivity in fronto-parietal networks. Group differences in local theta and delta power were relatively less pronounced. These results suggest that the relationship between WMC and cognitive control abilities is more strongly reflected in large-scale oscillatory network dynamics than in spatially localized activity or in behavioral task performance.

“…Reliability and validity are well documented (34).This variant consisted of eight blocks of 60 trials, each of which began with a fixation cross (500 milliseconds), followed by a series of uppercase and lowercase letters (1000 milliseconds). Participants were instructed to respond whenever a lowercase letter was presented, and to withhold their response whenever an uppercase letter was presented.…”

“…Moderate-to-high heritability (Friedman et al, 2008;Stins et al, 2004), as well as strong test-retest reliability and internal consistency (Wöstmann et al, 2013) have been reported for commonly used cognitive control paradigms (eg, Stroop, Eriksen Flanker). In addition, there is evidence of cognitive control impairments in healthy, unaffected twins discordant for MDD (Christensen et al, 2006).…”

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is clinically, and likely pathophysiologically, heterogeneous. A potentially fruitful approach to parsing this heterogeneity is to focus on promising endophenotypes. Guided by the NIMH Research Domain Criteria initiative, we used source localization of scalp-recorded EEG resting data to examine the neural correlates of three emerging endophenotypes of depression: neuroticism, blunted reward learning, and cognitive control deficits. Data were drawn from the ongoing multi-site EMBARC study. We estimated intracranial current density for standard EEG frequency bands in 82 unmedicated adults with MDD, using Low-Resolution Brain Electromagnetic Tomography. Region-of-interest and whole-brain analyses tested associations between resting state EEG current density and endophenotypes of interest. Neuroticism was associated with increased resting gamma (36.5-44 Hz) current density in the ventral (subgenual) anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). In contrast, reduced cognitive control correlated with decreased gamma activity in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), decreased theta (6.5-8 Hz) and alpha2 (10.5-12 Hz) activity in the dorsal ACC, and increased alpha2 activity in the right dlPFC. Finally, blunted reward learning correlated with lower OFC and left dlPFC gamma activity. Computational modeling of trial-by-trial reinforcement learning further indicated that lower OFC gamma activity was linked to reduced reward sensitivity. Three putative endophenotypes of depression were found to have partially dissociable resting intracranial EEG correlates, reflecting different underlying neural dysfunctions. Overall, these findings highlight the need to parse the heterogeneity of MDD by focusing on promising endophenotypes linked to specific pathophysiological abnormalities.
