Quantum-Inspired Models of Neural Coherence and Decoherence in Emotional Dysregulation: A Systems Neuroscience Approach to Clinical Psychology

Abstract Emotional dysregulation can be regarded as a transdiagnostic concept that underlies various mental disorders, which may be associated with disruptions of brain activity regulation. The present paper elaborates on a novel quantum-inspired neuroscience theory of emotional dysregulation based on two key concepts – neural coherence and decoherence. In such terms, neural coherence implies the synchronization of brain oscillatory activity and efficient functioning of neural networks associated with the integration of information across prefrontal, limbic, and salience as well as default mode networks in response to the regulation by neuromodulators, normal excitation-inhibition dynamics, and effective synaptic plasticity. Neural decoherence denotes the disruptions of the integrative functions and is associated with neuroendocrine impact of stress responses, changes in neurotransmitter release, disruption of the network organization and cross-frequency coupling. Emotional dysregulation can be seen as an unstable and repeated transition from neural coherence to neural decoherence involving prefrontal cortex, amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex, insular cortex, and hippocampus. On a concluding note, the key aspect of this paper is that it emphasizes emotional dysregulation as the product of failure of integration in contrast to a fundamental deficit. It provides a coherent framework for conducting research from a transdiagnostic approach.
