Interactions Between Depression, Autonomic Dysfunction, Inhibitory Control and Reaction Time: Insights From Heart Rate Variability During Continuous Performance Test
Reaction time in healthy individuals correlated with ANS function during later stages of CCPT-II, whereas depression disrupted this association. The lower d' in the depression group was not due to a speed-accuracy trade-off but rather a more pronounced neural network impairment. These findings suggest that depression impairs both IC and autonomic regulation.
