Neuromagnetic Indication of Dysfunctional Emotion Regulation in Affective Disorders
Figure 4
Top: time course of field strength around picture onset at 0 ms (as in Figures 1(a) and 2(a)) for patients with low childhood stress load (, left graph, low ELS = early life stress) and patients with high childhood stress load (, right graph, high ELS). Yellow shading marks epoch of significant Emotion effect. Brown shading marks epoch of significant Instruction effect (present only in low-stress group). Bottom: t-maps projected onto schematic top views testing watch-unpleasant versus watch-neutral and testing watch-unpleasant versus down-regulate-unpleasant 500–1000 ms after picture onset. Red and blue colors represent sensor clusters which show significant () differences in field strength between conditions, with sensors defining the significant clusters marked by open circles (as in Figure 1).
