• Resumen

  • The article discusses a study by Tsuyoshi Miyakawa and others published in the "Neuropsychopharmacology," related to acid-disorder connection with panic disorder and psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia. Topics include carbon dioxide gas as the main cause of temporary surges released as the brain breaks down sugar to generate energy, lower brain pH levels in people with bipolar disorder than healthy individuals, and higher than normal neuronal activity resulting in increased acidity.
