Right hemisphere sensitivity to arousal and depression

Dissociative symptoms in school-aged adopted children who experienced maternal separation and disruptive caregiving in infancy

“…In this context, the present study’s findings are congruent with results describing maternal separation in animals, indicating that the early stress experiences caused by maternal separation influence stress responses and behavior in rodents and subhuman primates and have long-term effects on behavioral and endocrine dysfunctions ( 11 , 73 ). Regarding the current research in humans, the results of the present study are in agreement with the findings indicating that dissociation, described as a disruption of integrated mental functions, usually manifests due to child abuse or neglect ( 74 ) and insufficient parental caregiving or emotional deprivation ( 67 , 75 – 80 ). Interestingly, the time the children spent in the institutional care of foster care (ranging from 0 to 32 weeks or 32 to 64 weeks) did not make a significant difference ( 81 ).…”

Higher Modified Beck Depression Inventory Scores are Associated with Body, Eating, and Exercise Comparisons but Decreased Exercise Amounts

“…Following this line of logic, the fi nding that the top quartile group produced fewer unique designs on the design fl uency task was in line with previously noted right frontal lobe processing problems in depression (for a review, see Rotenberg, 2004 ). Depression disrupts right frontal activity ( Liotti & Tucker, 1992 ), with this disrupted right frontal activity resulting in decreased design fl uency ability ( Foster, Williamson, & Harrison, 2005 ). A previous study found that comorbid depression with anxiety can result in decreased design fl uency scores ( Nelson, et al , 2012 ) The fi ndings from this study also support the idea that depression is associated with more negative comparisons to others, particularly in terms of body image.…”

Assessing the molecular genetics of attention networks

“…These RT deficits are specific to left visual field (right hemisphere) and are consistent with the right frontal and parietal networks involved in alerting. Changes in the efficiency of the alerting network as a consequence of mood and depression are further supported by the findings of Liotti and Tucker [84] where subjects induced into sadness showed no improvement in RT when given alerting cues before target stimuli were presented.…”
