Depression is characterized by altered sensitivity to rewards, with recent evidence
suggesting that the ability to sustain responses to rewards across long experimental tasks is …

Depression has been characterized in recent years in terms of deficits in positive affect and
an underactive approach-related motivational system. Consistent with this view, behavioral …

Objective Although impaired reward processing in depression has been well-documented,
the exact nature of that deficit remains poorly understood. To investigate the link between …

Blunted reward response appears to be a trait-like marker of vulnerability for major
depressive disorder (MDD). As such, it should be present in remitted individuals; however …

Both behavioral and neural evidence suggests that depression is associated with reduced
sensitivity to rewards. Using the feedback negativity, a neural index of reward processing, an …

Recent theoretical models underline reward sensitivity as a potential endophenotype for
major depressive disorder. Neural and behavioral evidence reveals depression is …

Background Reward sensitivity is a dimensional construct central to understanding the
nature of depression. Psychophysiological research on this construct has primarily focused …

Reward dysfunction has been implicated in a wide range of psychological disorders,
including internalizing and externalizing psychopathology. Basic neuroscience research has …

An inhibited neural response to reward is typical of clinical depression and can predict an
individual's overall depressive symptoms. However, the mechanism underlying this are …

Individual differences in reward responsiveness can be reliably measured at the
neurophysiological level using the reward positivity (RewP) event-related potential (ERP) …
