  • Neural substrates of increased memory sensitivity for negative stimuli in major depression.

    Hamilton JP, Gotlib IH. Biol Psychiatry. 2008; 63 (12): 1155-62

    Although memory biases for negatively valenced stimuli have been reliably associated with depression and have been postulated to play a critical role in the maintenance of this disorder, the neural bases of these biases have received little attention. In this study, we tested a model of heightened memory sensitivity for negative information in depression in which neural mechanisms that normally facilitate memory for affective material are over-recruited during encoding of negative material in depression.
