Given the role of serotonergic neurotransmission in cognitive control and impulsivity (Gorwood et al. 2000; Mann et al. 2001; Purselle and Nemeroff 2003; Retz et al. 2004; Strobel et al. 2007; Walderhaug et al. 2007; see, however, Clark et al. 2005 for negative evidence), the current findings of greater error -
evoked thalamic activity in women seem to indicate a potentially useful intermediate neural phenotype to further elucidate gender differences in depression.
