Approximately 25% of all adults with bipolar disorder are over the age of 65. Literature in older age bipolar disorder is sparse and typically extrapolated from data in younger adults. This retrospective cohort study included patients 65-89 years of age with bipolar I or II disorder who were prescribed lithium or SGA treatment. Primary efficacy outcome was defined as time to discontinuation of treatment and numerous secondary safety outcomes were included such as adverse effects; lab changes; mental health related hospitalizations; and death. No difference was found between the lithium group and the SGA group in days until discontinuation.

Background: The first year of life is the period of greatest brain plasticity. Postpartum depression can adversely affect the first interactions with the child and, consequently, their emotional, social, and cognitive development.
Objectives: First, to describe the developmental profile of six-month-old infants of mothers suffering from severe postpartum depression, and, second, to compare the development of infants whose mothers suffer from depression with or without bipolar disorder.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a disorder that starts in childhood, sometimes persisting into adulthood. It puts a strain on their social, professional, family, and environmental lives, which can exacerbate disorders such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. : This paper aims to predict ADHD in children and adults and explain the main factors impacting this disorder.

Background: ClockΔ19 mice demonstrate behavioral characteristics and neurobiological changes that closely resemble those observed in bipolar disorder (BD). Notably, abnormalities in the hippocampus have been observed in patients with BD, yet direct molecular investigation of human hippocampal tissue remains challenging due to its limited accessibility.
Methods: To model BD, ClockΔ19 mice were employed.

Background And Hypothesis: Sequential saccade planning requires corollary discharge (CD) signals that provide information about the planned landing location of an eye movement. These CD signals may be altered among individuals with schizophrenia (SZ), providing a potential mechanism to explain passivity and anomalous self-experiences broadly. In healthy controls (HC), a key oculomotor CD network transmits CD signals from the thalamus to the frontal eye fields (FEF) and the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) and also remaps signals from FEF to IPS.
