A schematic of the 3 intrinsically-connected networks associated with depression vulnerability. Dysphoric attention is characterized by increased salience network (SLN) and reduced executive network (EXN) activity. Prolonged attention to dysphoric content may promote dysphoric elaboration, co-opting EXN function into habitual self-evaluation and elaboration characteristic of the default mode network (DMN). Dysphoric elaboration may in turn create dysphoric expectations, biasing selection and maintaining dysphoric attention.
