Resonancia magnética funcional en pacientes adultos eutímicos con trastorno bipolar tipo I: una visión neuropsicológica y neurofuncional

The results were contradictory due to differences in paradigms, inclusion criteria, residual symptoms, and history of drugs. Prefrontal dysfunction was identified in the Stroop test and in working memory tasks compared with controls (specifically dorsolateral region) which has been proposed as a feature of the disorder. Frontopolar area (BA 10) appears to be important in frontal dysfunction. Findings in areas such as the anterior cingulate and parietal and ventral prefrontal cortex need to be replicated in subsequent research with a closer control of confounding factors.
