Characterizing anhedonia: A systematic review of neuroimaging across the subtypes of reward processing deficits in depression

Anhedonia is a key symptom of major depressive disorder (MDD) and comprises behavioural deficits in three reward processing subtypes: reward liking, reward wanting, and reward learning. However, neuroimaging findings regarding the neural abnormalities underpinning these deficits are complex. We have conducted a systematic review to update, reframe and summarize neuroimaging findings across the three subtypes of anhedonia in MDD. Using PubMed,...
