The Bipolar Brain on Overdrive: Dopamine, Serotonin & Circuits
from The Y in Psychiatry · host NguyenInDoubt
Send us Fan MailWe're now tracing how dopamine and serotonin imbalances map onto psychomotor agitation, depression, and that “too much energy” feel of mania. We also stop by the basal ganglia–thalamus–sensorimotor loop, the ventrolateral and ventromedial prefrontal cortex, the amygdala, and the superior frontal gyrus to show how disrupted circuits drive impulsivity, hyperemotionality, and goal-directed behavior. Say that 10 times.https://www.nguyenindoubt.com/theyinpsychhttps://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2185312.rss
