So excited! My first-ever FIRST author paper just went online! A systematic review of 98 studies on the neural correlates of affect dysregulation in depression and substance use with @SarahLWhittle & @Prof_Nick_Allen

We divided fMRI tasks on the type of emotion regulation paradigm utilised (affective modulation, behavioural control, and cognitive modulation). In addition, we also looked at resting state functional connectivity studies. 2/5

While a meta-analysis wasn't possible due to heterogeneity in study designs, we used a label based approach to quantify the number of studies with common findings, and split them into ROI and whole-brain results for task-based studies (see figure). 3/5

Essentially, while findings were largely inconsistent, especially for whole brain studies, some patterns emerged. Findings for resting-state were found to be more consistent, with lower resting cortico-amygdala connectivity reported in both depression and substance use. 4/5

In addition, we found that there was sparse research on youth substance use and substance use disorders in this space.

A special shout-out to the fantastic reviewers we had
