Gamma and Psychological Resilience: Where to Now?
Review in Brain sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Because of their potential to enhance pathways for diagnosis and treatment, a great deal of research has been conducted to identify brain biomarkers of mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. Similarly, the investigation of the biomarkers of those protective factors that help individuals resist, or recover from, these mental illnesses is also directly relevant to clinical practice. One such protective factor is Psychological Resilience (PR) but relatively little is known about its neurobiological underpinnings. A literature search was conducted of electroencephalographic data and PR, revealing seven studies that reported brain electrical activity categorised into bands of specified frequencies. Several studies reported significant associations between PR and alpha band activity, and somewhat less on beta band activity, principally via their roles in emotion regulation and problem solving. However, despite having a major role in many aspects of cognition and brain function, and being implicated in depression, only two studies examined gamma band activity specifically, and their results were equivocal. Several possible reasons for these apparently null results of the association between gamma band activity and PR are discussed, leading to a brief description of gamma, and suggestions for future research into its association with PR.
