Resting frontal EEG asymmetry as an endophenotype for depression risk: sex-specific patterns of frontal brain asymmetry.

Text

depression to date, findings from the linked mastoid reference revealed that men with moderate or high levels of depressive symptoms showed relatively greater left frontal activity, a finding opposite to women, but nonetheless replicating one previous study with a sizable male sample (Miller et al., 2002). The implications of this finding for men must await further investigation, but it is clear that future studies of frontal brain asymmetry and risk for depression must take sex differences into consideration.
