Bipolar affective disorders: Assessment of functional brain changes by means of Tc99m HMPAO NeuroSPECT.

Article N° AJ23-2

 

 

Objectives of this Study


1) To describe functional cerebral changes in a group of eutimic patients with diagnosis of affective bipolar disorder.

2) Define regions of interest (ROI) that present with statistically significant functional differences with respect to a normal control population.

3) To suggest the existence of neuro-anatomical structures involved in the physiopathology of bipolar disorder considering levels of macro-organizational circuitry in the brain.
