Background Theories of the intergenerational transmission of depression emphasize
alterations in emotion processing among offspring of depressed mothers as a key risk …

This review focuses on research my colleagues and I have conducted on etiological
pathways to depression. Much of this work has focused on the measurement of neural …

Prevention of depression requires a clear understanding of etiology. Previous studies have
identified reduced neural responses to monetary reward as a risk factor for depression, but …

Recent work has highlighted neural mechanisms underlying cognitive effort-related
discounting of anticipated rewards. However, findings on whether effort exertion alters the …

The integration of developmental processes is essential for a full understanding of
psychopathology. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Research Domain Criteria …

Deficits in neural reward processing have been implicated in the etiology of depression and
have been observed in high-risk individuals. However, depression is a heterogeneous …

Considering that the classical categorical approach to mental disorders does not allow a
clear identification of at-risk conditions, the dimensional approach provided by the Research …

Depression is transmitted within families, but the mechanisms involved in such transmission
are not clearly defined. A potential marker of familial risk is the neural response to errors …

Parental depression is a well-established risk factor for depression in offspring. This
intergenerational transmission involves a diverse array of mechanisms, both familial and …

Background Previous studies have found that offspring of depressed parents exhibit
reduced striatal reward response to anticipating and receiving rewards, suggesting that this …
