5-HTTLPR Biases Amygdala Activity in Response to Masked Facial Expressions in Major Depression

TL;DR: Risk allele carriers demonstrated increased amygdala reactivity to masked emotional faces, which was significantly correlated with life-time psychiatric hospitalization as an index of chronicity, which might indicate that genetic variations of the serotonin transporter could increase the risk for depression chronification via altering limbic neural activity on a preattentive level of emotion processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Interleukin 1 Beta (IL1B) Gene Is Associated with Failure to Achieve Remission and Impaired Emotion Processing in Major Depression

TL;DR: A negative effect of the IL1B gene on pharmacological response and amygdala and ACC function involving the same genotypes of two SNPs, which taken together increase the risk of nonremission over 6 weeks of antidepressant treatment in MDD.

Amygdala reactivity to masked negative faces is associated with automatic judgmental bias in major depression: a 3 T fMRI study

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of amygdala reactivity on automatic negative judgmental bias and clinical characteristics in depression was investigated in a sample of 35 inpatients suffering from depression, where the patients performed an affective priming task that characterizes automatic emotion processing by investigating the biasing effect of subliminally presented emotional faces on evaluative ratings.
