Social and interpersonal dysfunction of patients with major depressive disorder / 上海交通大学学报（医学版）

Major depressive disorder is usually associated with social and interpersonal dysfunction, which significantly affects the patients' daily life. This paper introduces problems of social and interpersonal interaction in the patients with major depressive disorder, and briefly reviews their abnormalities and neural mechanism in facial expression processing, social decision-making and social feedback processing, so as to give new ideas for the future research on intervention and treatment.

Application of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in decision-making behavior / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques,including transcranial direct current stimula-tion (TDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS),are safe and non-invasive techniques,which can change the local excitability of the brain. The application of these techniques in the field of psychology,espe-cially decision making,has developed rapidly. These techniques provide the researchers a new perspective to study how people make decisions and to explore the neural mechanisms behind decision-making behaviors. This paper reviews the studies of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in the field of different decision-making behaviors (risky choice,intertemporal choice and social decision-making) and the problems existing in the current studies,and puts forward some possible solutions.
