Bipolar Disorder Brain Imaging Study

Bipolar Disorder (BPD) is a brain disorder characterized by recurrent manic and major depressive episodes with a one year prevalence rate between 1-2%. BPD ranked 20th in terms of causes of loss of disability- adjusted life-years in 1992 and is associated with a life time suicide risk of up to a 19%. Very little is known about the biological basis of this illness and less is known about the mechanism of action of our commonly prescribed medications. We are conducting a study that will significantly increase our understanding of both the illness and its treatment using state of the art brain imaging technologies. The Bipolar Disorder Brain Imaging Study is one of many research projects at the Center for Understanding Biology using Imaging Technology (CUBIT) at Stony Brook University School of Medicine.
