Bipolar Research: Genetics and Biochemistry

Return HOME

This page will (one day) contain information on the biochemistry of bipolar disorder.

The following is temporary: (on the research on the activity and glial cells in the prefrontal cortex in depression and manic depression) Biology Abstracts search for Wayne Drevets
Medline Search for Wayne Drevets (These two searches appear to produce a list of the group's publications - but I am not yet certain of that, I have other lists of and referrals to them elsewhere) "The Neurobiology of Depression", , Scientific American, June 1998.

Also, three reviews of articles among those above, plus a conference presentation I am not sure is among above.

report on the amygdala study
report on the April 1997 Nature article "Glial reduction in the subgenual prefrontal cortex in mood disorders" Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States... 95(22). Oct. 27, 1998. 13290-13295. This is available at the journal's web site - but the url is so long one can't even read it, one of those cgi deals, possibly not even link-to-able if one could read it.
