Objectives: To determine the neural responses invoked in the recognition of facial fear and
disgust in euthymic bipolar patients as compared with healthy subjects. Methods: This study …

Background: Bipolar disorder is associated with functional and structural abnormalities in
the brain circuits involved in processing emotional stimuli. Although impairments of cognitive …

BACKGROUND: The pathophysiology of abnormal mood states–mania and depression–in
patients with bipolar disorder remains unclear. Facial affect processing paradigms are an …

Background. The processing of facial emotion involves a distributed network of limbic and
paralimbic brain structures. Many of these regions are also implicated in the …

Objective: It has been hypothesized that disturbances in affect may represent distinct
etiologic factors for bipolar affective disorder. The neural mechanisms mediating affective …

Bipolar disorder (BD) is characterized by abnormalities in emotion processing. Specifically,
the processing of affective faces appears to be impaired. This study explored functional …

Introduction The ability to recognize facial emotions is altered in patients with Bipolar
Disorder (BD) during mood episodes and even in euthymia, while cognitive functioning is …

Emotions of fear and disgust are related to core symptoms of depression. The
neurobiological mechanisms of these associations are poorly understood. This functional …

Neuroimaging studies have demonstrated abnormalities in patients with bipolar disorder,
including overactivity in anterior limbic structures in response to fearful or happy facial …

Introduction Bipolar disorder type I (BD-I) is characterized by a severe impairment in
emotional processing during both acute and euthymic phases of the illness. The aim of the …
