Does emotion modulate cognitive flexibility in patients with major depression?
The present data indicate that any depression-related difficulties with cognitive flexibility and control may be particularly evident on matched tasks that require processing of relevant emotional, rather than simply neutral, stimuli. The implications of these findings for our developing understanding of cognitive and emotional control processes in depression are discussed.
PBPV as a treatment for PVS was safe, and provided good long-term outcomes. Some patients with less-optimal immediate results may experience a spontaneous PSG reduction. A small proportion of patients required a second PBPV, especially those with poor immediate results. Close follow-up is necessary.
