This thread discusses a study examining the distinct roles of reward prediction error in the contrasting mood dynamics of depression and anxiety. The research aims to differentiate between depression-specific, anxiety-specific, and shared psychopathology dimensions. The study uses a computational framework to explore how these conditions relate to mood variability and reactivity.
