Abstract
Separating emotions from cognition seems impossible in everyday experiences of a human being. Emotional processes have an impact on the ability of planning and solving problems, or decision-making skills. They are a valuable source of information about ourselves, our partners in interactions and the surrounding world. Recent years have shown that axial symptoms of depression are caused by emotion regulation disorders, dysfunctions in the reward system and deficits of cognitive processes. There is a few studies concerning a link between emotional and inflammatory processes in depression. The aim of this article is to present results of contemporary research studies over mutual connections between social cognition, cognitive processes and inflammatory factors significant for the aetiology of recurrent depressive disorders, with particular reference to the role of kynurenine pathways.
Keywords: Cognition, depression, emotion, inflammation, kynurenine, social cognition.
