Term
bipolar is a _ disorder
Definition
mood
Term
bipolar is assoc with two things-
Definition
mania (abnormal elevated mood)
depressive symtpoms
Term
how hard is it to distinguish depressin form bipolar?
Definition
very- the sxs are similar when person in depressed pahse of bipolar
Term
charactersitics of the manic phase-4
Definition
substance abuse
irritable
distracted/restless
-overly happy
Term
which type of bipolar is worse, and the manic phase is disruptive to normal life
Definition
type 1
Term
Bipolar is based off how severe the _ phase is
Definition
manic
Term
what type of bipolar is called hypomania
Definition
type 2
Term
what happens with BD if untreated over time?
Definition
progressively worsens (highs get higher, lows lower)
Term
this type of BD is more than 4 mood swings per year
Definition
rapid cyclers
Term
this type of BD is when depression and manic sxs show at the same time
Definition
mixed
Term
this type of BD is when both manic and depressive phases are less sereve
Definition
cyclothymic
Term
to pts show BD earlier or later than MDD as average
Definition
BD is younger
Term
which gender gets BD more
Definition
neither (tho some studies show womena dn type 2
Term
whcih gender more often shows with the mania first?
Definition
men
Term
which type of BD is suicide higher in?
Definition
type 2
Term
what abnormalties increases risk of BD
Definition
devlopmental (pre-perinatal)
Term
a preggo exposure to what increases BD risk by 4x?
Definition
influenza
Term
what type of genetic disorder is BD?
Definition
polygenic
Term
which is heritablity higher in- MDD or BD?
Definition
BD
Term
BD has a shared genetic etiology with what 2 disorders?
which does it have a higher correlation with?
Definition
MDD, schizophrenia
schiz
Term
the alleles respon for bipolar have what kind of relative risk-
so this means cant ID the gene bc of lack of-
Definition
low
statistical power
Term
what are the genes invovled with BD?-4
Definition
BNDF
Bcl-2
XBP-1
IMPase
Term
which gene is involved in both MDD and BD?
whihc is it a greater risk factor in?
Definition
BDNF
BP
Term
what is BDNF function?
Definition
neuron survival/plasticity
Term
what is the function of Bcl-2
where is it found?
Definition
anti apoptic protein that stimulates dendrite sprouting and regrowth
mitochondria
Term
what gene is also invvolved in Ca homeostasis
Definition
Bcl-2
Term
what is the function of XBP-1
Definition
regulates ER stress response from damaged proteins
Term
what cycle is the IMPase invovled in?
this enzyme regernates _ to synthesize _ in this cycle
Definition
PI cycle
inositol

phosphatidyl.. lipids
Term
what are the similar structure abnormalities with MDD and BD
Definition
decreased glutamate
reduced neurons
reduced hippocampus and PFC
Term
BDD has what stucture abnormalites different from MDD -2
Definition
diruption in emotion control (limbic and orbital of PFC)
excess acitvation of amygdyla
Term
the increase of amygdala activaiton is partly due to-
can this lead to depression or manic symtpoms?
Definition
derease inhibitoin from PFC
BOTH
Term
bc the appearence of wiring abnormalites in neuron emotion networks can be seen before 1st epsidoe this means what?
Definition
these networks were abnormal in the growth and develpoment of them
Term
what is kindling?
Definition
neuron networks are abnormal during devlopment, and then you have synaptic strengthening of these abnromal connections
Term
what electrolyte is abnormal in BP?
high or lower concentraiton?
Definition
cytoplasmic Ca
elevated
Term
how does Ca have to deal with BP?-3
Definition
-involved in synaptic plastic
-can cause apoptosis if elevated
-also can change gene expression
Term
what are some physiological abnormalites in BP?-3
Definition
mitochondria dysfunction
neuronal atrophy
abnormal synaptic plasticity
Term
why does dysfunciton of the mitochondira/ER cause?-2
Definition
oxidative stress and activation of apoptosis
Term
what 2 things cause neuron cell death?>
Definition
too high Ca
not enough BDNF
Term
what 2 things are invovled in nroaml synaptic plasitcity?
what one stimulates synaptic growth?
which is invovled in anabolic pathways to strengthen plasticity
Definition
BDNF and Ca
Ca
BDNF
Term
which gene inhibits the synaptic pruning GSK-3
Definition
BDNF
Term
bc antidepressents help bipolar what does this indicate
Definition
monoamine hypothjesis
Term
bc antipsychotics work fro bipolar what hyoperactivity does this show is invovled?
where exactly in the brain?
what also shows this to be true?
Definition
dopamaine
nucelus accumbens and PFC
heritablity correlation btwn shciz and BD
Term
what are the typical mood stabilizers-3
what do they all target?
what hypothesis does this show?
Definition
carbamezapine, lamotrigine, valproate
voltage gate Na channels
tone down limbic circuits to reduce mood swings
Term
lamotrigine also targets what to help with this abnormality in BD
Definition
Ca channels
Term
valproate has _ activity to nromalize gene expression
Definition
histone deacetylase
Term
what salt is given for BD?
Definition
lithium (citrate or carbonate)
Term
how does lithium inhbiitng IMPase help BD?
-2
Definition
decrease PI lipids which invovle in signal trnasduction
-decreases Ca bc no IP3
Term
how does lithium affecting Na/K ATPase help bd?
Definition
inhibits the pumps
Term
LI is a direct inhibitor of?
Definition
GSK3`
Term
how can lithium reverse glutamergic hypofunction?
Definition
mkaes AMPA current in hippocampaus neurons
Term
LI can increase _
Definition

Term
Li stomulates _ neurogenesis
Definition
hippocampal
