What happens during the disease - bipolar affective disorder
Существует большое количество теорий и гипотез возникновения заболевания. На сегодняшний день известно, что возникновение депрессии имеет связь с нарушением обмена ряда моноаминов и биоритмов (циклов сон-бодрствование), а также с дисфункцией тормозных систем коры мозга. Помимо прочего существуют данные об участии норадреналина, серотонина, дофамина, ацетилхолина и ГАМК в патогенезе развития депрессивных состояний.
Причины возникновения маниакальных фаз БАР кроются в повышенном тонусе симпатической нервной системы, гиперфункции щитовидной железы и гипофиза.На рисунке, расположенном ниже, можно увидеть кардинальное различие мозговой активности при маниакальной (А) и депрессивной (В) фазе БАР. Светлые (белые) зоны указывают на самые активные участки головного мозга, а синие, соответственно, наоборот.
