New Imaging Study Finds Evidence that Emotion Regulation Is Not Always the Most Effective Strategy to Mitigate Suicidal Ideation

Caption

A: The neural decoder for cognitive reappraisal reflects the degree to which each participant engaged this emotion regulation strategy while exposed to cues of their negative memories. The image above depicts the “mask,” or cluster of voxels, that the decoder was comprised of. B: The graph depicts each participant's fluctuating suicidal thoughts epoch-by-epoch across the ecological momentary assessment (EMA) time period. The size of the data point reflects the severity of participants' suicidal thoughts, while the color indicates whether a stressor occurred (pink) or no stressors occurred (blue) during that epoch.
