Fifty-eight BD I meeting DSM-IV criteria following episode mania and 27 healthy subjects were studied 1H-MRS with 3.0 T Philips Achieva scanner. Voxels 30 × 15 mm placed on both sides brain signal collected PRESS sequence TE = 35 ms TR 2000 ms. Data analysis performed LC Model software. Results. N-Acetyl-aspartate (NAA), choline (Cho), myo-inositol (mI), creatine (Cre) glutamine + glutamate (Glx) levels compared between groups no statistically significa...
