Blunted reward processing both characterizes major depressive disorder and predicts
increases in depressive symptoms. However, little is known about the interaction between …

BackgroundReward processing deficits have been implicated in the etiology of depression.
A blunted reward positivity (RewP), an event-related potential elicited by feedback to …

Objective: A blunted neural response to rewards has recently emerged as a potential
mechanistic biomarker of adolescent depression. The reward positivity, an event-related …

Objective Adults and adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) show a blunted
neural response to rewards. Depression has been validated in children as young as age 3; …

Blunted reward sensitivity and life stress are each depressogenic. Additionally, individuals
with clinical and psychosocial vulnerabilities are prone to experience or evoke dependent …

Objective Lower neural response to reward predicts subsequent depression during
adolescence. Both pubertal development and biological sex have important effects on …

Background Reduced reward responsiveness (RR) may contribute to depression
vulnerability. At the neurophysiological level, RR is reliably and validly assessed using the …

BACKGROUND: Altered reward processing is postulated to be a feature of depression.
Reward processing may be valuable to understanding early-onset depressive disorders …

Offspring of depressed parents are at risk for depression and recent evidence suggests that
reduced positive affect (PA) may be a marker of risk. We investigated whether self-reports of …

BackgroundLife stress and blunted reward processing each have been associated with the
onset and maintenance of major depressive disorder. However, much of this work has been …
