Popis: Relatively less right parietal activity may reflect reduced arousal and signify risk for major depressive disorder (MDD). Inconsistent findings with parietal electroencephalographic (EEG) asymmetry, however, suggest issues such as anxiety comorbidity and sex differences have yet to be resolved. Resting parietal EEG asymmetry was assessed in 306 individuals (31% male) with (n 5 143) and without (n 5 163) a DSM-IV diagnosis of lifetime MDD and no comorbid anxiety disorders. Past MDD1 women displayed relatively less right parietal activity than current MDD1 and
