Emotional regulation (ER) is an adaptive skill that develops through the lifetime. Successful development of ER skills predicts achievement and success throughout the lifetime, while maladaptive ER behaviors correlate with many mental health challenges. A consistent picture describing the underlying neurobiology of ER has emerged, pointing to the importance of limbic-frontal connectivity in the brain. The neural development correlates tightly with the emergence of regulation skill. Further, ER is learnable. NF is the deliberate modulation of brain activity to produce therapeutic change. Given the developing understanding of ER, NF has emerged as a potential tool for building ER skills, especially NF methods that can provide high spatial resolution in deep cortical structures. The evidence supporting the efficacy of NF for ER is still emerging. However, a consistent body of literature points to the plasticity of the brain, and the ability to maintain changes induced by NF even after the feedback is withdrawn. Future work will expand current findings by demonstrating effects on symptoms and functioning, improving methodology, and working with younger children, where symptoms related to ER tend to emerge. |
