Readings Flashcards
Neuroimaging of Bipolar: What major theme is seen with regards to emotion processing, emotion regulation and response inhibition?
decreased ventrolateral prefrontal cortex activity
abnormal voluntary and automatic regulation
Neuroimaging of Bipolar: What major theme is seen with regards to Positive emotional stimuli?
increased amygdala, striatal and medial prefrontal cortex activity
deceased connectivity between amygdala and prefrontal cortex
Dysregulated amygdala: bias to positive stimuli predisposes mania
Neuroimaging of Bipolar: What major theme is seen with regards to Nonemotional cognitive task performance?
increased amygdala, orbitofrontal cortex and temporal cortical activity
elevated emotional perception in nonemotional contexts
Neuroimaging of Bipolar: What major theme is seen with regards to Reward Processing?
abnormally increased left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and orbitofrontal cortex and ventral striatum activity
Heightened reward sensitivity
