Patients with major depressive disorder exhibit abnormal activation of the occipital lobes

Patients through major depressive disorder exhibit abnormal activation of the occipital lobes

A modern study published in the Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 8, No. 18, 2013) combined knowing tasks and functional MRI, and designed multiple repeated result-related tasks; additionally, using the International Affective Picture System-based event-related tasks, this study investigated brain functional characteristics of major depressive disorder patients exhibiting, negative propensity brain imaging changes and cognitive dysfunction, viewed like well as their relationship based forward biased quantitative data.

Results show that:

the calculate of error responses was calculated to make identical bias of emotion recognition between patients by major depressive disorder and normal controls, suggesting that the depressed patients exhibited negative leaning towards emotion task stimuli based without interrupti quantitative data;

the activation of the occipital lobe was attenuated in depressed patients when doing emotion tasks;

Deficits in the occipital lobes may have existence an initiating factor for depression charge, which results in attention deficit upset and cognitive dysfunction.
