IFC hypoactivation may be a persistent deficit in subjects with bipolar disorder in both acute mood states as well as euthymia, thus representing a trait feature of bipolar disorder. Not-a-shock because the Motion 40is are svelte in their sound, approaching the sublime balance of the XStat panel in our Martin Logan ESL-X hybrid electrostatic loudspeakers. The BP II depressed group, compared with the control group, showed significantly reduced activation in right frontal regions, including the IFC (Brodmann's area (BA) 47), middle frontal gyrus (BA 10), as well as other frontal and temporal regions. Whole-brain analyses were conducted to assess activation differences within and between groups. Participants comprised 19 medication-free bipolar II (BP II) depressed patients and 20 healthy control subjects who underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while performing a Go/NoGo response-inhibition task.

The aim of this study was to examine whether reduced IFC activation also exists in unmedicated subjects with bipolar disorder during the depressed phase of the disorder. Hypoactivation of the IFC during response-inhibition tasks has been found consistently in subjects with bipolar disorder during manic and euthymic states. In executive function, specifically in response inhibition, numerous studies support the essential role for the inferior frontal cortex (IFC). Martin Logan Motion FX Surround Speaker £795.

Therefore, it is concluded that PPI and AEP gating have neural substrates that only partly overlap each other and that both paradigms measure distinct types of gating mechanisms.

Growing evidence from both human an animal studies supports the suggestion that AEP gating and PPI underlie different inhibitory systems. MartinLogan Motion FX Bipolar Surround On-Wall Speaker (Ea.)

Emphasis in the discussion is placed on the role of dopamine. This review discusses the similarities and differences between the AEP gating and PPI paradigms. The reduction in P50 amplitude to the second click has been found to be less pronounced in schizophrenic subjects.

After a brief interval, about 500 ms, a second click (S2) elicits a much smaller P50 in normal control subjects, who are said to show normal gating. This deflection is referred to as the P50 component. In the sensory gating paradigm, an auditory click (S1) is presented to a subject, eliciting a positive deflection at 50 ms after stimulus onset in the electroencephalogram (EEG). PPI has been found to be disturbed in schizophrenic patients. PPI is the reduction in the ASR that occurs when a weak stimulus (prepulse) precedes a startling stimulus with interstimulus intervals between 30 and 500 ms. Two different paradigms have been used to assess auditory gating in human subjects, namely prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the acoustic startle response (ASR or sensorimotor gating) and gating of auditory evoked potentials (AEPs or sensory gating).
