Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Study the relationship between BLC and brain sodium ion homeostasis, as measured by concurrent Single / Triple quantum sodium MRI in BPD patients
1 Hour
Secondary Outcomes (1)
To investigate the measurement of sodium ion homeostasis in the brain of BPD patients, at clinical magnetic field strengths (3 Tesla), as a non-invasive surrogate marker of BLC during Lithium Carbonate therapy
1 Hour
Study Arms (2)
Healthy Volunteers
MRI on 3 Tesla (3T) or 7 Tesla (7T) scanner, without contrast
Bipolar Patients
MRI on 3 Tesla (3T) or 7 Tesla (7T) scanner, without contrast
Eligibility Criteria
Residents of New York City and surrounding areas
You may qualify if:
- Psychiatrically stable patients (diagnosed according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, DSM-IV, criteria)
- On steady state serum lithium levels (0.8-1.2mEq/L)
You may not qualify if:
- Subjects who have a history of head trauma
- Subjects who have a contraindication for an MRI exam, including a claustrophobia, surgical or vascular implants, pregnancy, pacemakers, neurostimulators, history of metal in the eyes, and orthodontia or extensive bridgework (with have a particular impact on gradient echo imaging).
