Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how women with major depressive disorder (MDD) respond neurologically to romantic rejection and acceptance compared to healthy controls, using fMRI techniques to measure brain activity.
- Results show that women with MDD exhibit heightened neural responses to rejection, specifically increased activity in brain regions linked to emotional processing, while their responses to acceptance differ significantly from healthy individuals.
- The findings suggest that MDD leads to abnormal behavioral and neural reactions to social feedback, which could inform future research on treatment and identification of biomarkers related to social and emotional processes.
