As early as 1950, ie over 50 years ago, the American child psychiatrist, Bradley has mostly positive about his time, more than 12 years, experiences reported with stimulant drugs. Methylphenidate and amphetamine preparations are the most commonly used stimulants in a concentration and attention deficit disorder, better known under the name of medication, like ritalin affect the human Equasim or concerta. How these pharma logical stimulant effect, and what actually happens in the brain, in children, adolescents, or adults who suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)? A brief look behind the scenes, into our brain metabolism: There is one part of the brain which is responsible for attention and movement. These areas are more than messengers, called neurotransmitters, like dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine, regulate. Eg lack of dopamine, can the activities of the nervous system that control our emotions and our behavior are influenced not sufficient. The stuff from the feelingNeurotransmitters are chemical messengers are made that produce the connection between two nerve cells. Our entire nervous system, thinking, feeling and acting based on these electrical stimulus transmission in the nerves.
Where two nerves in contact with each other (synapses occur), the pulse transmitted by chemical means of neurotransmitters. Dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline are neurotransmitters such influence and authoritative our wellbeing. cause and effect: At the University clinic in Jena, researchers try to cause the failure of attention to the track to come. In their investigations, they leave children with and without ADHD to participate in focus testing. At the same time they do with a magnetic resonance tomography images of the brain, during the mental action. The first results of this current study confirm the hypothesis that the metabolism in the brain is involved in attention disorder.
The researchers found that some crucial brain regions in ADHD patients are poorly activated, which eventually led toa disturbance in the transmission of stimuli leads. The neurotransmitter dopamine seems to play an important role. According to Professor Bernhard Blanz by the Department of child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Jena, there is strong evidence that dopamine in the frontal region, hypothyroidism is present, which is probably responsible for the impulsive and uncontrolled behaviors. On the other hand is in a different area dopamine-hyperactivity, which could cause the hypermotorische behavior. It is now assumes that regulates better with a stimulant therapy with medication, the amount of neurotransmitters is. The consequence for the person who is treated with medication, is an improvement in concentration, attention, and a reduction of the physical transmission being. It appears that the stimulant treatment does so as effectively as they got better the transmission of information to ensure optimized and sets out how actually intended by nature. research and practice consistently show that anregular-dose and optimal dose of stimulants, ie drugs, they are needed less and dosage can be reduced. The work of Dr. Fritz hero, Specialist in child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Levi and colin r. Wilsher can lead to the assumption that these drugs not only for improving the circulation of neurotransmitters and regulation of these functions lead, but that growth of these brain cells in this area will be further encouraged. As a result, the neural network is even more dense and function better. After it matures. This supports and confirms the observations in the practice of Dr. med Ingrid Just and Mrs. Dr. roswitha Spallek, both pediatricians and psychotherapists that does not require the parties gradually more stimulants. Specialists report that a balanced and individual doses in 80% of patients an improvement is achieved.
