TL;DR: These results, based on electrophysiological imaging, not only support hemodynamic findings implicating activation of the anterior cingulate as a predictor of response in depression, but they also suggest that differential activity in the rostral anterior cedulate is associated with gradations of response.

TL;DR: It is suggested that subgenual PFC dysfunction in melancholia may be associated with blunted hedonic response and exaggerated stress responsiveness, and a negative correlation between gray matter density and age emerged.

TL;DR: Neuroimaging methods have been used to characterize the circuitry underlying disorders of emotion and particular emphasis has been placed on the prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate, parietal cortex, and the amygdala as critical components of the circuitry that may be dysfunctional in both depression and anxiety.

TL;DR: The role of the amygdala in major depression was investigated and right amygdalar rCMRglu was positively correlated with negative affect and accounted for a significant portion of variance in depressives' negative affect scores over and above the contribution of thalamic rC MRglu.

TL;DR: The study provides evidence of beneficial effects of acute cortisol elevations on explicit memory in humans and suggests that the effects of cortisol on memory do not differ substantially for emotional and neutral information.
