Depression: perspectives from affective neuroscience.

TL;DR: A model of the ways in which affect can become disordered in depression is constructed and proposals for the specific types of processing abnormalities that result from dysfunctions in different parts of this circuitry are offered.

Long-term meditators self-induce high-amplitude gamma synchrony during mental practice
