March 2016

Center for Mental Disease Control and Prevention, Third Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, No. 45, Dongfeng Road, Baoji, 721004, Shaanxi, People's Republic of China.

States of depression are considered to relate to a cognitive bias reactivity to emotional events. Moreover, gender effect may influence differences in emotional processing. The current study is to investigate whether there is an interaction of cognitive bias by gender on emotional processing in minor depression (MiD) and major depression (MaD).

Motor imagery provides direct insight into an anatomically interconnected system involved in the integration of sensory information with motor actions, a process that is associated with positive symptoms in schizophrenia (SCZ). However, very little is known about the electrophysiological processing of motor imagery in first episode SCZ. In the current study, we used a visual hand mental rotation (MR) paradigm to manipulate the processing of motor imagery while event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded in 42 SCZ participants and 40 healthy controls (HC).

Article Synopsis
  • The study links the number of depressive episodes to how patients process emotional facial expressions, particularly showing that those with recurrent major depression (R-MD) struggle more with happy and neutral faces but react differently to sad faces compared to healthy controls.
  • F-MD patients exhibit longer reaction times (latencies) and lower brain activity (N170 amplitudes) when recognizing various emotions, indicating a significant impairment in processing emotional cues.
  • The findings suggest that increased depressive episodes exacerbate these emotional processing issues, highlighting the need for understanding these abnormalities in treating depression.

Neurocognitive impairment of mental rotation in major depressive disorder: evidence from event-related brain potentials.

J Nerv Ment Dis

*Neurologic Department of Affiliated ZhongDa Hospital, Neuropsychiatric Institute and Medical School of Southeast University, Nanjing, Jiangsu; and †Center for Mental Disease Control and Prevention, Third Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, Baoji, Shaanxi Province, PR China.

Mental rotation performance may be used as an index of mental slowing or bradyphrenia and may reflect speed of motor preparation. Previous studies suggest that major depressive disorder (MDD) presents correlates of impaired behavioral performance for mental rotation and psychomotor disturbance. Very little is known about the electrophysiological mechanism underlying this deficit.

Hemispheric dominance during the mental rotation task in patients with schizophrenia.

Shanghai Arch Psychiatry

April 2012

Center for Mental Disease Control and Prevention, Third Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, Baoji, Shaanxi Province, China.

Background: Mental rotation is a spatial representation conversion capability using an imagined object and either object or self-rotation. This capability is impaired in schizophrenia.

Objective: To provide a more detailed assessment of impaired cognitive functioning in schizophrenia by comparing the electrophysiological profiles of patients with schizophrenia and controls while completing a mental rotation task using both normally-oriented images and mirror images.
