Is narrative meaning making associated with sudden gains in psychotherapy clients ' mental health under routine clinical conditions?
The present study significantly extends prior research on SGs, replicating the characteristics of these gains in routine clinical conditions with a measure of general functioning and identifying two narrative meaning-making processes that are associated with SGs in mental health.
GABA transmits phase information between the ventral and dorsal SCN oscillators. GABA can act excitatory in the dorsal SCN and inhibits neurons in the ventral SCN. We hypothesize that this difference results in asymmetrical interregional coupling within the SCN, with a stronger phase-shifting effect of the ventral on the dorsal SCN than vice versa. A model is proposed that focuses on this asymmetry and on the role of GABA in phase regulation.
