Purpose Studies of the neural underpinnings bipolar type I disorder have focused on emotional control network. However, there is also growing evidence for cerebellar involvement, including abnormal structure, function, and metabolism. Here, we sought to assess functional connectivity vermis with cerebrum in whether might depend mood. Methods This cross-sectional study enrolled 128 participants 83 comparison who completed a 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study, which included anatomical...

Studies of the neural underpinnings bipolar type I disorder have focused on emotional control network. However, there is also growing evidence for cerebellar involvement, including abnormal structure, function, and metabolism. Here, we sought to assess functional connectivity cerebellum with cerebrum in whether any effects might depend mood.This cross-sectional study enrolled 128 participants 83 comparison who completed a 3T MRI scan, which included anatomical imaging as well resting state...

Previous research in bipolar disorder demonstrates greater than expected vascular dysfunction later the course of illness, proportionate to cumulative burden mood symptoms. However, little is known about effect acute states on function. Here we examine relation between function and state individuals with disorder.

Mood disorders have been associated with a variety of cardiovascular disease risk factors, including inflammation and large artery stiffness, particularly while depressed although longitudinal studies limited.With measurements at baseline 8 weeks, the researchers prospectively assessed mood, levels inflammatory markers (hsCRP TNF-α), serum lipids, stiffness in cohort 26 participants diagnosis mood disorder, enriched for current depression. Depressive symptoms were measured using...

Bipolar disorder is a serious psychiatric condition whose cause remains unknown. Previous diffusion MRI studies suggest white matter alterations may be involved, but standard tensor scalars provide limited information regarding potential pathophysiology. Here we used Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) to examine select bundles additional changes in microstructure. We found that the uncinate fasciculus, cingulum hippocampus, corpus callosum genu showed evidence of...

Abstract Background The neural underpinnings of bipolar disorder (BD) remain poorly understood. cerebellum is ideally positioned to modulate emotional regulation circuitry yet has been understudied in BD. Previous studies have suggested differences cerebellar activity and metabolism BD, however findings on structural contradictory. Methods We collected 3T anatomical MRI scans from participants with (N = 131) without 81) BD type I. Differences volumes were assessed along factors that...
