Mental imagery strongly influences the experience of
emotion and many psychological disorders manifest
distressing abnormalities in mental imagery. During
adolescence, neurocognitive development impacting mental
imagery processes may moderate its relationship with
clinically-relevant emotional symptoms that could affect
mental imagery. The aim of this work is to use fMRI to
explore the networks underlying emotional imagery and to
do this during the adolescence by exploring the
interaction between the emotional and motor imagery by
using a letter detection task acting as a control.
