Microstructural white matter changes in the corpus callosum of young people with Bipolar Disorder: a diffusion tensor imaging study.

To date, most studies of white matter changes in Bipolar Disorder (BD) have been conducted in older subjects and with well-established disorders. Studies of young people who are closer to their illness onset may help to identify core neurobiological characteristics and separate these from consequenc...
