- 神经成像是一种神经成像.
背景情况:
- 重复的负面思维 (RNT) 或反思是主要抑郁障碍 (MDD) 的关键症状,与糟糕的结果和自杀倾向有关.
- RNT的跨诊断性质表明与痴迷共享的神经生物学机制,特别是涉及皮层-皮层-胸膜-皮层 (CSTC) 电路.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究MDD中RNT的神经生物学基质.
- 测试MDD中的RNT是否与痴迷共享大脑机制,重点关注CSTC电路.
主要方法:
- 功能性磁共振成像 (fMRI) 用于在RNT诱导过程中研究39名MDD患者.
- 测量了特征-RNT (食反应量表) 和状态-RNT (视觉模拟量表).
- 连接体全方位的关联分析检查了RNT强度与条状和thalamic连接性的联系.
主要成果:
- 较高的特征-RNT与右侧中背丘脑和前额叶皮层,韦尼克区域和后部默认模式网络之间的超连接相关.
- 较高状态的RNT与右侧背侧丘脑与感觉运动皮层,补充运动区域和布罗卡区域之间的超连接性相关.

Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia
50
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia indicate a reduction or absence of typical behaviors and emotional responses found in healthy individuals, while positive symptoms reflect an excess or distortion of normal functioning.
Negative Symptoms
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia manifest as deficits in normal emotional and behavioral functioning, profoundly impacting daily life. Individuals with schizophrenia often display a flat affect, characterized by a near-total absence of emotional expression,...

Beck's Cognitive Therapy
56
Cognitive therapy is a psychological approach designed to address distortions in thinking, which can lead to negative emotions and unrealistic beliefs. These cognitive distortions often influence how individuals interpret and respond to situations, exacerbating emotional distress. Below are some prevalent cognitive distortions, their characteristics, and examples of how they manifest in thought processes.

Cognitive Therapy
154
Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...

Depression: Overview
255
Depression is a prevalent mental illness marked by persistent sadness and lack of interest in previously enjoyable activities. It can take several forms, including major depression, persistent depressive disorder, and bipolar I and II disorders. Symptoms range from emotional changes like chronic worry to physical changes like sleep disturbances and suicidal thoughts. From a neurobiological perspective, depression is believed to be triggered by abnormalities in the brain's prefrontal cortex,...

Long-term Depression
30.9K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.
