Novel Neurobehavioral Profiles Predict Risk of Mania in Bipolar Spectrum Disorders

A recent study dentified a neurobehavioral signature that can predict the risk of future mania or hypomania in bipolar spectrum disorders (BSD). Researchers identified three profiles: healthy, moderate risk, and high risk, based on factors such as reward sensitivity, impulsivity, and sleep-circadian characteristics.

Brain activation provides individual-level prediction of bipolar disorder risk

Combining neuroimaging data with machine learning, researchers have identified patterns of brain activation during reward anticipation, associated with an increased risk of developing bipolar disorder. The patterns of neural activation predict the severity of mania symptoms in young adults who have not yet developed the disorder.
