Multi-unit relations among neural, self-report, and behavioral correlates of emotion regulation in comorbid depression and obesity

Abstract Depression is a leading cause of disability and is commonly comorbid with obesity. Emotion regulation is impaired in both depression and obesity. In this study, we aimed to explicate multi-unit relations among brain connectivity, behavior, and self-reported trait measures related to emotion...

Multi-unit relations among neural, self-report, and behavioral correlates of emotion regulation in comorbid depression and obesity
