Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by executive dysfunction occasioning symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity and emotional dysregulation that are excessive and pervasive, impairing in multiple contexts, and otherwise age-inappropriate.
See Hypofrontality and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder, previously known as manic depression, is a mental disorder characterized by periods of depression and periods of abnormally elevated mood that each last from days to weeks.
See Hypofrontality and Bipolar disorder
Cerebral circulation
Cerebral circulation is the movement of blood through a network of cerebral arteries and veins supplying the brain.
See Hypofrontality and Cerebral circulation
Clonidine
Clonidine, sold under the brand name Catapres among others, is an α2A-adrenergic agonist medication used to treat high blood pressure, ADHD, drug withdrawal (alcohol, opioids, or nicotine), menopausal flushing, diarrhea, spasticity, and certain pain conditions.
See Hypofrontality and Clonidine
Clozapine
Clozapine is a psychiatric medication and was the first atypical antipsychotic (also called second-generation antipsychotic) to be discovered.
See Hypofrontality and Clozapine
Dopamine
Dopamine (DA, a contraction of 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) is a neuromodulatory molecule that plays several important roles in cells.
See Hypofrontality and Dopamine
Executive functions
In cognitive science and neuropsychology, executive functions (collectively referred to as executive function and cognitive control) are a set of cognitive processes that are necessary for the cognitive control of behavior: selecting and successfully monitoring behaviors that facilitate the attainment of chosen goals.
See Hypofrontality and Executive functions
Frontal lobe
The frontal lobe is the largest of the four major lobes of the brain in mammals, and is located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere (in front of the parietal lobe and the temporal lobe).
See Hypofrontality and Frontal lobe
Functional magnetic resonance imaging
Functional magnetic resonance imaging or functional MRI (fMRI) measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow.
See Hypofrontality and Functional magnetic resonance imaging
GABA
GABA (gamma Aminobutyric acid, γ-Aminobutyric acid) is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the developmentally mature mammalian central nervous system.
Genetics
Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms.
See Hypofrontality and Genetics
Glucose
Glucose is a sugar with the molecular formula.
See Hypofrontality and Glucose
Guanfacine
Guanfacine, sold under the brand name Tenex (immediate-release) and Intuniv (extended-release) among others, is an oral alpha-2a agonist medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and high blood pressure.
See Hypofrontality and Guanfacine
Haloperidol
Haloperidol, sold under the brand name Haldol among others, is a typical antipsychotic medication.
See Hypofrontality and Haloperidol
Interneuron
Interneurons (also called internuncial neurons, relay neurons, association neurons, connector neurons, intermediate neurons or local circuit neurons) are neurons that connect to brain regions, i.e. not direct motor neurons or sensory neurons.
See Hypofrontality and Interneuron
Major depressive disorder
Major depressive disorder (MDD), also known as clinical depression, is a mental disorder characterized by at least two weeks of pervasive low mood, low self-esteem, and loss of interest or pleasure in normally enjoyable activities.
See Hypofrontality and Major depressive disorder
Medial dorsal nucleus
The medial dorsal nucleus (or mediodorsal nucleus of thalamus, or dorsal medial nucleus) is a large nucleus in the thalamus.
See Hypofrontality and Medial dorsal nucleus
Neurotransmission
Neurotransmission (Latin: transmissio "passage, crossing" from transmittere "send, let through") is the process by which signaling molecules called neurotransmitters are released by the axon terminal of a neuron (the presynaptic neuron), and bind to and react with the receptors on the dendrites of another neuron (the postsynaptic neuron) a short distance away.
See Hypofrontality and Neurotransmission
Parietal lobe
The parietal lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals.
See Hypofrontality and Parietal lobe
Positron emission tomography
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique that uses radioactive substances known as radiotracers to visualize and measure changes in metabolic processes, and in other physiological activities including blood flow, regional chemical composition, and absorption.
See Hypofrontality and Positron emission tomography
Prefrontal cortex
In mammalian brain anatomy, the prefrontal cortex (PFC) covers the front part of the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex.
See Hypofrontality and Prefrontal cortex
Psychotic depression
Psychotic depression, also known as depressive psychosis, is a major depressive episode that is accompanied by psychotic symptoms.
See Hypofrontality and Psychotic depression
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by reoccurring episodes of psychosis that are correlated with a general misperception of reality.
See Hypofrontality and Schizophrenia
Synapse
In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target effector cell.
