情绪调节的神经机制研究

The Study on the Neural Mechanism of Emotion Regulation

情绪调节是指人们根据环境的需要,有意识或无意识地调节情绪的产生、体验与表达,从而做出恰当的行为反应的过程。恰当的情绪调节对于个体的身心健康至关重要,而情绪失调的个体通常会引发一系列精神障碍疾病,如焦虑、抑郁,甚至是精神分裂症。以往的研究对个体情绪调节的脑机制进行了大量的研究。本研究重点从健康群体和特殊(情绪失调)群体两个角度探讨情绪调节的神经机制。我们发现不同情绪调节存在特定的激活脑区以及共同激活脑区,健康群体与特殊群体之间脑区激活程度也不同。未来应深入开展特殊群体情绪调节的脑机制研究,对于情绪失调病人的治疗或许能提供一定的临床价值。

Emotional regulation refers to the process in which people consciously or unconsciously regulate the generation, experience and expression of emotions according to the needs of the environment so as to make appropriate behavioral responses. Proper emotional regulation is crucial to individual physical and mental health, and individuals with emotional disorders often cause a range of mental disorders, such as anxiety, depression and even schizophrenia. Previous studies have done a lot of research on the brain mechanism of individual emotion regulation. This study focuses on the neural mechanism of emotional regulation from the perspective of healthy and special (emotional disorders) groups. We found that different emotional regulation strategies have specific brain activation areas and co-activation areas, and the degree of brain activation is also different between healthy groups and special groups. We should carry out in-depth studies on the brain channel mechanism of special group emotional regulation, which may provide some clinical value for the treatment of patients with mood disorders in the future.
