Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

73
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Drugs Affecting Neurotransmitter Synthesis01:29

Drugs Affecting Neurotransmitter Synthesis

1.4K
Drugs affecting neurotransmitter synthesis can impact the adrenergic neuron and the synthesis of neurotransmitters. For example, α-methyltyrosine and carbidopa target specific enzymes involved in catecholamine synthesis. α-methyltyrosine inhibits the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase, which converts tyrosine into dopamine. By blocking this enzyme, α-methyltyrosine reduces dopamine production and other catecholamines. Carbidopa, on the other hand, inhibits the enzyme dopa decarboxylase,...

Summary

Dopamine influences hierarchical organization in the left frontal cortex. Dopaminergic drugs altered effective connectivity, increasing it in dorsal regions and decreasing it in ventral regions.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • The left lateral frontal cortex exhibits hierarchical organization with top-down influence.
  • The neuroarchitecture underlying this hierarchical control is not fully understood.
  • Dopamine is crucial for cognitive control functions within the frontal cortex.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of dopamine in modulating effective functional connectivity within the left lateral frontal hierarchy.
  • To determine if dopaminergic stimulation differentially affects connections between hierarchically organized frontal regions.

Main Methods:

  • Randomized, double-blind, within-subject design.
  • Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from 66 healthy young participants.
  • Administration of bromocriptine (dopamine agonist), tolcapone (COMT inhibitor), and placebo.

Main Results:

  • Dopaminergic drugs modulated effective connectivity from the caudal middle frontal gyrus and inferior frontal sulcus to rostral and caudal frontal areas.
  • Effective connectivity strength increased in dorsal frontal regions.
  • Effective connectivity strength decreased in ventral frontal regions.

Conclusions:

  • Dopamine differentially modulates connections within the frontal cortex.
  • These modulations may bias the influence frontal regions exert over each other.
  • Findings suggest a specific role for dopamine in the hierarchical organization of the frontal cortex.
