Mapping valence-specific affective flexibility deficits in depression: Neurobehavioral dissociations revealed by event-related potentials
These findings provide novel ERP-based evidence of valence-specific affective flexibility deficits in MDD, characterized by behavioral difficulty engaging with positive stimuli and attenuated neural responsiveness during negative processing. This valence asymmetry may underlie emotional rigidity in depression and highlight neurocognitive targets for intervention.
