Understanding how the brain processes information in bipolar disorder
Establishing Network Neuroscience Mechanisms of Efficiency of Evidence Accumulation in a Well-Characterized Sample with Bipolar Disorder: A Multi-Modal Clinical Imaging Study
This study is looking at how the brains of people with bipolar disorder gather information and make choices, and it will compare their brain activity to that of healthy individuals to see what differences exist.

What this research studies
This research investigates the brain mechanisms that affect how individuals with bipolar disorder accumulate information and make decisions. By using advanced imaging techniques and computational models, the study aims to identify how the brain's network connectivity influences this cognitive process. The research will involve comparing brain activity in adults with bipolar disorder to that of healthy adults to uncover differences in information processing. Participants will be part of a well-characterized sample from the Prechter Longitudinal Study of Bipolar Disorder.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adults aged 21 and older who have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have bipolar disorder or are under 21 years old may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved understanding and treatment strategies for bipolar disorder by targeting cognitive deficits.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promising results in understanding cognitive processes in psychiatric disorders using similar network neuroscience approaches.
