Brain Activity Imbalances in Depression and Alcoholism May Be Similar.The article discusses the result of the study conducted by Elizabeth P. Hayden and colleagues regarding the activity of the anterior and posterior regions of the brain in alcoholics. The result of the study reveals that the ...
These little hits of dopamine keep you addicted to your phone, and train your brain to hate any activity that doesn't provide instant gratification.这些微量的多巴胺让你沉迷于手机，并训练大脑对不能提供即时满足感的活动进行排斥。As a result, people develop clinical-level anxiety, depression, and at...
Importance: During the past 20 years, numerous neuroimaging experiments have investigated aberrant brain activation during cognitive and emotional processing in patients with unipolar depression (UD). The results of those investigations, however, vary considerably; moreover, previous meta-analyses also yield...
In Deep Brain Stimulation, the electrical impulses are controlled from the outside and patterned to each individual patient. The device regulates brain activity (altering the firing of the brain's neurotransmitters) 24 hours a day. Deep brain stimulation for depression March 14, 2011 - 11:29pm ...
However, it is still uncertain whether there are any differences between MCI patients with and without depression symptom in their brain function activities. Here we have identified the brain function activity differences in two groups of MCI patients (with depression or without depression) using the...
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- U.S. scientists at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have found a new pattern of brain activity that may help develop new therapies in the future to treat mood disorders like depression. ...
if larger studies confirm higher activity in the amygdala in women at risk of postpartum depression, we could assess and specifically target these women during this vulnerable phase—for example, by training them in emotion regulation skills. This may be one approach to cope with the baby blues...
Additionally, depression severity seems to correlate with how far-declined the prefrontal cortex activity actually is. Thalamus: The thalamus is the part of the brain that gets the most sensory information. It’s involved in many high-level functions such as speech, thought, behavioral reactions, ...
"We believe that young children who have higher activity in thesebrain regionsare more likely to develop anxiety and depression as adolescents and adults and are also more likely to develop drug and alcohol problems in an attempt to treat their distress," says Kalin. ...
