Description
Summary:Highlights • Greater negative attentional bias towards sad facial stimuli was associated with higher circulating concentrations of CRP in a sample of breast cancer survivors. • The association between negative attentional bias and CRP held when controlling for basic attentional function and current depressive symptoms. • This research contributes to the literature on the link between inflammation and depression by showing CRP is associated with a fundamental process that may underlie depressive symptomology.
