Ashley L. Brenon

For 50 years scientists have recognized the positive outward effects of lithium treatment on bipolar disorder, but, until recently, they could not measure precisely the effects of the drug on the brain itself. With advancements in 3-D computational image analysis, scientists can view the entire brain at higher spatial resolution, surpassing the accuracy of region-specific volumetric studies used in the past to study the effects of lithium on patients with bipolar disorder. In a study scheduled to appear in the July issue of Biological Psychiatry, Carrie E. Bearden and her colleagues...Read full article
