Background Recent evidence from genetic and familial studies revitalized the debate concerning the validity of the distinction between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Comparing brain imaging findings is an important avenue to examine similarities and differences and, therefore, the validity of the distinction between these conditions. However, in contrast to bipolar disorder, most patient samples in studies of schizophrenia are predominantly male. This a limiting factor for comparing…

Neuroanatomical voxel-based profile of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

The present review summarises the findings of the voxel-based grey matter comparisons between SCZ and BD, with the objective to highlight the possible consistent anatomical differences between the two disorders.

Laterality interacts with sex across the schizophrenia/bipolarity continuum: An interpretation of meta-analyses of structural MRI

Common and specific patterns of functional and structural brain alterations in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder: a multimodal voxel-based meta-analysis

A meta-analysis of differences in regional homogeneity and voxel-based morphometry between patients and healthy controls for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder separately showed patients with schizophrenia showed more widespread functional and structural impairment, most prominently in the primary sensory motor areas.

Reduced Gray Matter Volume in Orbitofrontal Cortex Across Schizophrenia, Major Depressive Disorder, and Bipolar Disorder: A Comparative Imaging Study

Examination of common OFC alterations in SZ, MDD, and BD provided evidence that this region dysregulation may play a critical role in the pathophysiology of these three psychiatric disorders.

Cingulate abnormalities in bipolar disorder relate to gender and outcome: a voxel-based morphometry study

The findings further confirm the putative role of the ACC in the pathophysiology of BD and suggested the presence of gender-specific GM volume reductions in ACC in BD, which may also be associated to poor outcome.

Cognitive Impairment in Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia: A Systematic Review

It is found that overall both SZ and BD patients present deficits on all neurocognitive measures compared to healthy controls, and patients with BD might exhibit a cognitive impairment that could be similar to SZ in terms of their profile.

Neuroimaging studies of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder typically provide considerable data on the brain endophenotype of psychosis, however the extent to which bipolar disorder is considered separately from schizophrenia and other psychoses varies.

No change to grey and white matter volumes in bipolar I disorder patients

The aim of this VBM study was to investigate grey and white matter volumes in a large sample of patients with bipolar I disorder and healthy control subjects and was not able to identify core regions of structural abnormalities in bipolar disorder.

Reductions in amygdala and accumbens volumes are consistent with neuropsychological data on pediatric BPD, which is consistent with data implicating the prefrontal cortex in emotion regulation, a process that is perturbed in BPD.
