Change in Brain Bioenergetics in Bipolar Disorder in Response to Photic Stimulation

NCT00801567 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2012-03-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to gather additional information to support the theory that bipolar disorder is due to cellular (mitochondrial) dysfunction. To test this theory adults with bipolar disorder who are not currently symptomatic will receive a one-time brain scan (magnetic resonance spectroscopy \[MRS\] scan) with light stimulation. To test whether any MRS findings are specific to bipolar disorder, healthy controls and adults with schizophrenia will also be included in this study.
