J Psychiatr Res. 2021 Jun 18;141:57-65. doi: 10.1016/j.jpsychires.2021.06.021. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT While several electroencephalogram (EEG)-based biomarkers have been proposed as diagnostic or predictive tools in major depressive disorder (MDD), there is a clear lack of replication studies in this field. Markers that link clinical features such as disturbed wakefulness regulation in MDD with […]?
Neuropsychopharmacology. 2021 Apr 29. doi: 10.1038/s41386-021-01010-9. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by late luteal phase affective, cognitive, and physical impairment. The disorder causes significant suffering in about 5% of women in their reproductive age. Altered sensitivity of cognitive-affective brain circuits to progesterone and its downstream metabolite […]?
Eur Neuropsychopharmacol. 2021 Apr 25;49:101-112. doi: 10.1016/j.euroneuro.2021.03.024. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Several electroencephalogram (EEG) biomarkers for prediction of drug response in major depressive disorder (MDD) have been proposed, but validations in larger independent datasets are missing. In the current study, we investigated the prognostic value of previously suggested EEG biomarkers. We gathered data that […]?
Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci. 2021 Apr 23:nsab048. doi: 10.1093/scan/nsab048. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Evaluating associations between the five-factor personality domains and resting-state functional connectivity networks (e.g., default mode network, DMN) highlights distributed neurobiological systems linked to behaviorally relevant phenotypes. Establishing these associations can highlight a potential underlying role for these neural pathways in related […]?
Transl Psychiatry. 2021 Mar 4;11(1):155. doi: 10.1038/s41398-021-01270-5. ABSTRACT Maternal postpartum depression (PPD) is a significant public health concern due to the severe negative impact on maternal and child health and well-being. In this study, we aimed to identify genes associated with PPD. To do this, we investigated genome-wide gene expression profiles of pregnant women during […]?
Int J Bipolar Disord. 2021 Mar 1;9(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s40345-020-00214-0. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: The Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) measured as the transient increase in cortisol levels following morning awakening appears to be a distinct feature of the HPA axis. Patients with bipolar disorder (BD) experience daily stress, mood instability (MI) and studies have shown disrupted HPA-axis dynamics. […]?
Eur Neuropsychopharmacol. 2021 Mar;44:23-33. doi: 10.1016/j.euroneuro.2020.12.010. Epub 2021 Jan 15. ABSTRACT Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent brain disorder for which anhedonia is a core symptom, indicating aberrations in the neural processing of reward. The striatum, medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and anterior insula (AI) are core reward processing regions. Here we used a reward-related, […]?

Acta Psychiatr Scand. 2020 Oct;142(4):294-306. doi: 10.1111/acps.13211. Epub 2020 Jul 21. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: Sex steroid hormones potently shape brain functions, including those critical to maintain mental health such as serotonin signaling. Use of oral contraceptives (OCs) profoundly changes endogenous sex steroid hormone levels and dynamics. Recent register-based studies show that starting an OC is associated […]?
Eur Neuropsychopharmacol. 2021 Jan;42:97-109. doi: 10.1016/j.euroneuro.2020.10.006. Epub 2020 Nov 3. ABSTRACT Pregnancy and childbirth are among the strongest risk factors for depression but the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying this enhanced risk are unknown. This study investigated emotional and non-emotional cognition in 57 pregnant women with or without an affective disorder during their third trimester, and the […]?
