Tiny lab-grown brains are offering an unprecedented look at how schizophrenia and bipolar disorder disrupt neural activity.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by extreme mood changes. Individuals diagnosed with BD typically alternate between periods of high energy, euphoria, irritability and/or ...

Tiny lab-grown “mini brains” are no longer just a futuristic curiosity. By capturing the electrical chatter of neurons in a ...

New research links inflammation to mental health symptoms. Personalized care using brain and immune data could improve ...

Leila Nabulsi, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher in computational neuroscience at the Keck School of Medicine of USC's Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) has ...

Precise changes in the connectivity between neurons caused by an imbalance of gut bacteria may help explain depressive ...

Dr. Ziad Nahas leads a team of U of M researchers experimenting with brain stimulation to cure severe bipolar disorder.

The reality of bipolar disorder is hard to fathom: nearly six million Americans have been diagnosed with the disorder and yet so little is known about how the illness manifests itself in our brains.

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

Diagnosing bipolar disorder can be difficult. While it is not hard to distinguish between its two characteristic phases—the high spirits of mania and the low spirits of depression—it is challenging to ...

The Ryan Licht Sang Bipolar Foundation celebrated its 20th anniversary with an art exhibit featuring works by artists with bipolar disorder. The event included a reception, remarks from foundation ...

Mini-brains' grown in the lab allow scientists to study brain wiring without interfering with brains in living people, and ...
