Anterior cingulate volumes associated with trait impulsivity in individuals with bipolar disorder.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Impulsivity is associated with the clinical outcome and likelihood of risky behaviors among bipolar disorder (BD) patients. Our previous study showed an inverse relationship between impulsivity and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) volume in ... Read more...

The brain regulation mechanism of error monitoring in impulsive children with ADHD--an analysis of error related potentials.

16 May 2009 The objective of this study was to investigate the brain mechanism involved in the regulation of impulsivity in children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) through error detection as well as error monitoring. The subjects in ... Read more...

Adolescent female rats are more resistant than males to the effects of early stress on prefrontal cortex and impulsive behavior.

30 Mar 2009 We tested the hypothesis that adolescent Sprague-Dawley females may be more resistant than males to display impulsive behavior and lower prefrontal cortex thickness after mother-infant separation (MS). Starting at postnatal day 2 (P2), the MS group ... Read more...
