- Loss, gain and choice difficulty in gambling patients: Neural and behavioural processesby Daniel Freinhofer on May 11, 2024

Behavioural responses as well as brain images of 23 patients with GD and 20 controls were recorded while they completed a mixed gambles task, where they had to decide to either accept or reject...

Despite limitations such as small sample sizes for certain disorders and limited age range, this study contributes to a broader understanding of emotional regulation's role in psychiatric conditions.
