Treatment of Bipolar Depression, and Micro Changes in the Structure of Gray Matter

Bipolar Depresyon Tedavisi ve Beyaz Madde Yapısındaki Mikro Değişiklikler

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is one of the most commonly used non-invasive methods being used to determine the integrity of the white matter. DTI measurements give rise to the thoughts that there is a prevalent change in the micro structure of the gray matter in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). A chronotherapeutic combination of total sleep deprivation (TSD) and light therapy (LT) can acutely reverse depressive symptoms in nearly 60% of the patients. Moreover, it was approved as a model antidepressant treatment to research the neurobiological correlations of the fast antidepressant response.

Intelligence

There is no widely-accepted definition for it. In this article, I will consider it a piece of mental device that is measured by intelligence tests.

Alzheimer’s and Predicting the Disease

Finding any symptoms, which would predict the disease (memory loss, etc.) before the patients start showing serious clinical symptoms, has gained an important place in the clinical studies conducted on Alzheimer’s disease by scientists over the past few years.

How to implement Neurofeedback

Also known as EEG (electroencephalography), Neurofeedback is a therapeutic intervention providing instant feedback through a computer-based software that evaluates the brainwave activities. The software uses audio or visual signals to re-regulate or retrain these brain signals. By responding to this process, clients learn how to re-regulate and improve their brain functions and to alleviate the symptoms of various neurological and mental health disorders.

Neurofeedback and Depression

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), also known as depression, is a mental disorder caused by social, psychological and biological factors.

Genetik ve Travma Sonrası Stres Bozukluğu İlişkisi

Results of a new study make us think that specific genes may be taking a part in the susceptibility to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study, which was managed by the researchers at the Mclean Hospital, published in the journal named Cell Reports, and conducted by an international team, may provide information about the prevention and treatment of PTSD.

The Importance of Personality Traits in the Pandemic

Within the past two months, the public opinion during the pandemic has been a substantial example of collectivism. In the attempts to control the spreading of the virus, individuals have predominantly acted in a collective manner through mass collaborations (“Stay at home together”) and by complying with social distancing, hand hygiene and quarantine-related measures.

An Analysis of Racist Brains

Today, we are witnessing that neuroscience is being associated with all kinds of concepts. Any theme, any title and any concept, which makes it possible to form a bond with the functioning of the brain, can be associated with neuroscience. Even though racism and neuroscience seem to be quite irrelevant, the advancing technology and neuroimaging systems show that this judgment is not accurate that much.

Death, as for every human being, is a problem for psychiatric patients, too. Fear of death and the uncertainty about what will happen after death are seemingly an endless part of the human thinking. In patients with acute psychiatric disorders, death and attitude toward death anxiety have not been studied much, yet this topic is an existential perspective for each and every human being.
