Bipolar disorder was mentioned.

I'm also diagnosed bipolar.

Attention deficit disorder, bipolar disorder.

Childhood bipolar children as young as four are being labeled bipolar because they have temper tantrums, which scores them high on the bipolar checklist.

like schizophrenia and bipolar and depression?

Bipolar disorder is nicknamed the CEO disease.

But I can't put in an electrode and say, Go there.

Do you know that bipolar disorder is nicknamed the CEO disease?

In the blue wire, we see what's called a deep brain electrode.

A long time ago, I had a close friend who was bipolar.

What drives disability for these disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and depression?

We ought to be able to find the gene for bipolar there's a relationship.

You may or may not have noticed that I'm wearing a tiny electrode on my forehead.

82 to 86 of people with bipolar disorder, have suffered from some form of childhood trauma.

But the basic idea is that the neurosurgeon implants in the brain an electrode and sends some excitation to that electrode, and this is extremely important for many, many problems, like Parkinson, tremor, depression or, or, or other problems.

And if you trigger, if you stimulate with an electrode, the precise spot, you will trigger an orgasm.

And this forces magnesium to de alloy and return to the upper electrode, restoring the initial constitution of the battery.

This electrode here, called the gate, controls the flow of current from the source to the drain these two electrodes.

And in order to do that, we actually, in order to know where to implant the electrode, and where exactly to go.

You see the electrode going through the skull into the brain and resting there, and we can place this really anywhere in the brain.

You can make him bipolar, or as someone said, a (Laughter) you can change his homeostatic drives, or whatever you want to call them.

Lithium, that is a drug used to treat bipolar disorder, that a group in Italy found slowed ALS down in 16 patients, and published it.

For example, there are reports of autism, or asthma, or bipolar disorder arising in one twin at a young age while the other one remains unaffected.

Just be manic enough in which investors who are looking for entrepreneurs that have this kind of spectrum you know what I'm talking about not maybe full bipolar, but they're in the bipolar spectrum where on one side, maybe you think you're Jesus, and on the other side maybe they just make you a lot of money.

Again, we are making holes in the skull about the size of a dime, putting an electrode in, and then this electrode is completely underneath the skin down to a pacemaker in the chest, and with a remote control very much like a television remote control, we can adjust how much electricity we deliver to these areas of the brain.

For example, we can connect the recording electrode to a cursor on a screen and have the patient move the cursor left or right just by thinking of things.

What are the biological differences between the brains of individuals who would be diagnosed as normal control, as compared with the brains of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, schizoaffective or bipolar disorder?

Now, when we talk about suicide, there is also a medical contribution here, because 90 percent of suicides are related to a mental illness depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anorexia, borderline personality.

Because 90 of suicides are related to a mental illness, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anorexia, borderline personality, there's a long list of disorders that contribute, and as I mentioned before, often early in life.

One part of the virus grabs a carbon nanotube, the other part of the virus has a sequence that can grow an electrode material for a battery, and then it wires itself to the current collector.

We know that if you stimulate the temporal lobe, you can produce a feeling of out of body experiences, near death experiences, which you can do by just touching an electrode to the temporal lobe there.

We want to develop these little tiny capsules about the size of a piece of risotto that we can put into the muscles and telemeter out the EMG signals, so that it's not worrying about electrode contact.

Gaby Maimon, who's now at Rockefeller, developed, and it's basically a flight simulator but under conditions where you actually can stick an electrode in the brain of the fly and record from a genetically identified neuron in the fly's brain.

There's a second big project, recently funded by the Wellcome Trust in this country, involving very large studies thousands of individuals, with each of eight different diseases, common diseases like type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and coronary heart disease, bipolar disease and so on to try and understand the genetics.
