| Core Tip |
This article synthesizes neuroelectrophysiological evidence on attentional switching deficits in major depressive disorder (MDD). MDD patients exhibit reduced P200 and late positive potential amplitudes during tasks requiring attention shifts, especially towards negative emotional stimuli. These event-related potential abnormalities pinpoint dysfunctions in early attentional engagement and sustained emotional processing. The use of ecologically valid dual-task paradigms strengthens these findings. The identified event-related potential markers hold significant promise for refining the cognitive profile of MDD, guiding targeted interventions like attention bias modification, and monitoring treatment response, paving the way for a more neuroscience-informed approach to understanding and treating depression-related cognitive dysfunction. |
