Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence of reward processing deficits in repetitive negative thinking: Implications for depression
CONCLUSIONS: RNT may transiently disrupt behavioral and neural indicators of reward functioning. These findings suggest that cognitive states such as RNT can exacerbate or reveal the latent reward-processing deficits typically observed in individuals with anhedonia. This state-dependent sensitivity highlights the potential utility of targeting RNT to restore reward processing in depression. →
