Neural correlations between cognitive deficits and emotion regulation strategies: understanding emotion dysregulation in depression from the perspective of cognitive control and cognitive biases

Abstract The link between cognitive function and emotion regulation may be helpful in better understanding the onset, maintenance, treatment for depression. However, it remains unclear whether there are neural correlates dysregulation deficits To address this question, we first review representations of depression (including control biases). Based on comparisons versus deficits, propose an accessible reasonable dysregulation, control, biases Specifically, serves whole process regulation, whereas engaged processes at different stages. Moreover, abnormal implementation strategies is consistently affected by which involved dorsolateral, dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex. Besides, relationship distinct: orbitofrontal cortex contributes to association ineffective reappraisal negative interpretation bias, while subgenual posterior underline tendency depressed individuals ruminate overly engage self-referential bias. This sheds light identifies directions need future attention.
