N2  - Während Frauen in der Allgemeinbevölkerung ein höheres Depressionsrisiko aufweisen als Männer, ist die Forschungslage zu Geschlechterunterschieden nach Schlaganfall heterogen. Die vorliegende Längsschnittstudie untersucht Geschlechterunterschiede in der Häufigkeit von depressiven Störungen und Symptomen nach Schlaganfall. An zwei deutschen Rehabilitationszentren wurden N = 174 Schlaganfallpatienten und -patientinnen1 (n = 72 weiblich) rekrutiert und etablierte Risikofaktoren erfasst. Nacherhebungen fanden nach acht und 15 Monaten statt. Depressive Störungen und Symptome waren häufiger bei Frauen (48.2 %) als bei Männern (28.3 %) während der stationären Rehabilitation, jedoch nicht in den Folgeuntersuchungen. Etablierte Risikofaktoren beeinflussten geschlechtsunabhängig die Ausprägung depressiver Symptomatik. In Übereinstimmung mit aktuellen Meta-Analysen zeigten sich keine dauerhaften Geschlechterunterschiede bei Depression nach Schlaganfall. In der klinischen Praxis sollte die Affektlage von Schlaganfallpatienten geschlechtsunabhängig betrachtet werden.
N2  - Depression in the general population is more frequent in women than in men. In depression after stroke however, evidence regarding gender differences is heterogeneous. This study investigates gender differences in frequencies of depressive disorders and symptoms after stroke. Patients (N = 174, n = 72 female) were recruited from two German rehabilitation clinics, assessed for established risk factors seven weeks post-ictus, and followed up eight and 15 months later. Depressive disorders and symptoms were more frequent in women (48.2%) than in men (28.3%) during rehabilitation, but not in follow-up assessments. Established risk factors influenced depressive symptoms irrespectively of gender. In accordance with current meta-analyses, no stable gender differences were found in depression after stroke. In clinical practice, emotional state should be monitored independently from gender.

T1  - Syntactic structural parallelisms influence processing of positive stimuli evidence from cross-modal ERP priming
JF  - International journal of psychophysiology
N2  - Language can strongly influence the emotional state of the recipient. In contrast to the broad body of experimental and neuroscientific research on semantic information and prosodic speech, the emotional impact of grammatical structure has rarely been investigated. One reason for this might be, that measuring effects of syntactic structure involves the use of complex stimuli, for which the emotional impact of grammar is difficult to isolate. In the present experiment we examined the emotional impact of structural parallelisms, that is, repetitions of syntactic features, on the emotion-sensitive "late positive potential" (LPP) with a cross-modal priming paradigm. Primes were auditory presented nonsense sentences which included grammatical-syntactic parallelisms. Visual targets were positive, neutral, and negative faces, to be classified as emotional or non-emotional by the participants. Electrophysiology revealed diminished LPP amplitudes for positive faces following parallel primes. Thus, our findings suggest that grammatical structure creates an emotional context that facilitates processing of positive emotional information.
