Neural correlates of emotion regulation deficits in remitted depression: The influence of regulation strategy, habitual regulation use, and emotional valence

► We investigated the neural correlates of emotion regulation in depression. ► The data show that impaired amygdala regulation persists into remission. ► The deficit is specific to a reappraisal and not a distraction regulation strategy. ► Only the down-regulation of negative, not positive stimuli is impaired. ► Patients show stronger activation in the control network to achieve regulation.
