This study will focus on examining the impacts of age and depression history on emotion regulation, both behaviorally and neurally. Maladaptive emotion regulation in older subjects with a history of depression is a risk for depression relapse. Confirming the failure in the normal adult maturational shift in emotion regulation in remitted depressed patients and identifying neural mechanisms supporting emotion regulation strategies used in remitted depressed subjects will inform the future development of novel prevention or treatment interventions.
