Music in depression: Neural correlates of emotional experience in remitted depression

Figure 1 Reduced pg anterior cingulate cortex activation in response to pleasant > neutral stimuli in remitted depressed patients as compared to healthy controls. Left side corresponds to left hemisphere, MNI coordinates [-6 44 10], height and extend threshold: P < 0.05, false discovery rate corrected on peak-level, k = 62.

Figure 2 Hippocampal activation in response to unpleasant > neutral stimuli explained by trait anxiety in remitted depression [linear regression analysis; β = 0. 62; R² = 0.38, F(1,27) = 15.95, P < 0.001]. Left side corresponds to left hemisphere, MNI coordinates [-32 -31 -3], k = 46. The result remains significant (P < 0.05) after excluding the two participants with the strongest hippocampal responses from the analysis. STAI: State and Trait Anxiety Inventory.
