Altered interhemispheric functional connectivity in remitted bipolar disorder: A Resting State fMRI Study

Abstract Abnormalities in structural and functional brain connectivity have been increasingly reported in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). However, alterations of remitted BD (RBD) in functional connectivity between the cerebral hemispheres are still not well understood. This study was designed...
