Neuroimaging in Bipolar Disorder Research

Neuroimaging techniques have become a valuable tool in bipolar disorder research, providing insights into brain structure and function related to mood regulation. This session will review recent advancements in neuroimaging research, including studies using MRI, PET, and fMRI to investigate neural correlates of bipolar disorder. These techniques offer valuable information on brain abnormalities and functional changes associated with the disorder.

The integration of neuroimaging findings with clinical data is enhancing our understanding of bipolar disorder and informing new treatment approaches. Research is also exploring the potential of neuroimaging for predicting treatment responses and monitoring disease progression. By leveraging these advancements, researchers and clinicians aim to improve diagnostic accuracy and develop more targeted and effective treatments for bipolar disorder.
