Same “Depressed” Body Movements, Opposite Brain Responses: KAIST Study Reveals Differences by Depressive Symptom Level

Caption

Figure 3. Changes in prefrontal activity during negative emotional movements. Brain activity maps (beta coefficients) of the healthy group (left) and the symptomatic group (center), and the difference between the two groups (right; symptomatic group minus healthy group). Red indicates increased activity, and blue indicates decreased activity. White circles mark the location of channel 13. The brain is shown from the front, so the right side of each image corresponds to the left side of the brain. In the healthy group, the channel 13 area was activated during all three movements, whereas activity in the same area decreased in the symptomatic group.
