摘要: Five patients with a manic episode and 7 age-comparable control subjects were studied single-photon emission computed tomography [99mTc]d,l-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime. Manic showed significantly lower blood flow in the basal portion of right temporal lobe compared normal subjects. Moreover, left-right asymmetry (a perfusion versus left cortex), as well dorsal-ventral dorsal cortex). These findings suggest that basotemporal cortex may play an important role production primary mania.
