Hi, I am not a physician but curious about the bipolar activity in the brain whether a focal turbulent activity and having a fixed place in the cortex or a wandering turbulent activity in the brain.
In literature is it correlated with some two polar EEG activities which have antagonist effect for the person or is it a psychological interpretation of person according to his mood for an irregular activity in the brain.
If the activity could be defined with its place and type, is it possible to distract the activity pattern through an invasive thin rod which has an electromagnetic effect to affect the electrical deviation of the neuronal activity causing bipolarity? or via wireless way such as TMS?
Thank you,
this question may also be valid for epilepsy. If some can define its focal point is it possible to cure it via electromagnetic sitimulation such that in active noise cancellation earbuds. Thanks

No ... until now a pathological neuro-anatomical location or substrate has not been found; it is rather, then, SYSTEMIC AT THE NEUROCEREBRAL AND NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL LEVEL.
Lack of concentration is a common symptom of bipolar disorder. People with bipolar disorder find they are easily distracted or feel lost and confused whether they are at home, at work, or in school.
