Neuroimaging on Depression - Dictionary of Arguments

Corr I 312
Depression/Neuroimaging/Canli: whereas healthy controls’ amygdala response returned to baseline within ten seconds of stimulus presentation, depressed individuals’ amygdala response remained active and even lasted through the next (non-emotional) trial twenty-five seconds later. It is unknown whether this sustained activation represents a consequence of depression, or possibly an antecedent vulnerability marker. If it were the latter, and given that Neuroticism is a risk factor for depression (Martin 1985(1); Boyce, Parker, Barnett et al. 1991(2); Kendler, Neale, Kessler et al. 1993(3); Duggan, Shan, Lee et al. 1995(4)), then we would expect that Neuroticism would correlate positively with sustained amygdala reactivity to negative emotional stimuli.
