“…Social support from other sources is still crucial, but the effects vary according to the ethnicity or nationality of the youths. Advances in neuropsychiatry have also revealed that receiving social support or not may modulate neural responses in the amygdala and striatum activity, 80 , 81 and that these circuits are related to happiness and reward sensitivity. 82 , 83 Since different social support intertwine in one’s developmental trajectory, how they affect the adolescent development is a critical issue to be explored in future studies.…”

Background Some risk/protective factors of adolescent depression have been proposed but have not been comprehensively studied. Recent advances in neuroimaging techniques have provided greater insight into the underlying neuropsychiatric mechanisms of depression-related factors such as impulsivity, substance use, gender difference and social support. However, how these factors are interconnected and how they affect depression in the real world is poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the relationships between adolescent depression with trait impulsivity, substance use and gender. We also tested the hypothesis that social support may play a buffering role in preventing depression. By expanding the diathesis-stress model. Methods The adolescents enrolled in this study were grade 1 senior high school students from northern Taiwan (N = 5879), and they were assessed for depression, trait impulsivity, and tobacco/alcohol use. Hierarchical multiple linear regression was performed to control possible confounders, including other depression-related diathesis and sociodemographic variables. Gender differences were also analyzed by separately examining variables significantly associated with depression. Results A higher level of depression was associated with female gender, trait impulsivity, low self-esteem, negative attitude towards the future, tobacco use, alcohol use, family discord and difficulty in basic family needs. Good parental health, living with their biological family and social support were protective factors. Trait impulsivity was significantly associated with depression after controlling for the confounding factors. Gender-specific analysis showed that trait impulsivity and tobacco use had a significant synergistic interaction on female depression. Social support from parents/peers was significantly associated with depression, but social support from other family members/teachers was not. Conclusion The current study advances the understanding of adolescent depression and highlights that trait impulsivity, addictive substance use, social support and their interaction may play an influential role in the emergence of adolescent depression. Gender-specific research and treatment approach are also crucial, and more investigations are necessary.

“…Another study showed no insular activity for not only self-induced happy experience but also sad experience (George et al, 1995;Pelletier et al, 2003). Re-experiencing the sad episode to induce sad emotions also reported no activity in the insular cortex contrary to viewing sad pictures, which showed activity in the salience network including insula (Kraus et al, 2020). Other studies also reported activity in the insular cortex for the sad pictures (Terasawa et al, 2015;Kluczniok et al, 2017).…”

While naturalistic stimuli like movies better resemble the complexity of the real world and are perhaps crucial to understanding the dynamics of emotion processing, there is limited research on emotions with naturalistic stimuli. There is a need to understand the temporal dynamics of emotion processing and their relationship to different dimensions of emotion experience. In addition, there is a need to understand the dynamics of functional connectivity underlying different emotional experiences that occur during or prior to such experiences. To address these questions, we recorded EEG and asked participants to mark the temporal location of their emotional experience as they watched a video. We also obtained self-assessment ratings for emotional multimedia stimuli. We obtained dynamic functional connectivity (DFC) patterns in all the frequency bands. We also performed regression analysis to evaluate whether temporal variability in DFC (tvDFC) could predict different dimensions of emotional experience. We observed that the connectivity patterns in the upper beta band could differentiate emotion categories better during or prior to the reported emotional experience. The functional connectivity dynamics is primarily related to emotional arousal followed by dominance. The hubs in the functional networks were found across the right frontal and bilateral parietal lobes, which have been reported to facilitate affect, interoception, action and memory related processing. The results support constructivist theories of emotional experience and show that changes in dynamic functional connectivity can predict aspects of our emotional experience.

“…Not surprisingly, it has been hypothesized that C-tactile afferents may act as mediators, at skin level, for oxytocin release, especially during affiliative tactile exchanges (Walker et al, 2017). In another fMRI study, holding hands with a romantic partner – compared to being alone – has been documented to reduce the reactivity of the anterior cingulate cortex and anterior insula while exposed to sadness-inducing pictures (Kraus et al, 2020).…”

Abstract. Recent research suggests that early physical touch provided by caregivers may play a critical role in cognitive and affective development. The discovery of the C-tactile fibers – which selectively respond to low-speed physical stimulations, such as maternal affectionate touch and caresses – opened a promising field of research into the physiological bases of human togetherness. Notably, C-tactile fiber stimulation is primarily elaborated in a specific brain area (i.e., the insula), which is involved in affective and socio-cognitive skills as well as in the development of an individual’s body image. In the present study, we provide a narrative overview of the research conducted so far on the role of maternal affectionate touch in infants’ cognitive and emotional development, and we highlight potential implications for clinical practice with children and adults.
