A
volume decrease in specific parts of the
brain's hippocampus — long
identified as a hub of mood and memory processing — was linked to bipolar disorder in a study led by researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth).
The group
identified eight genetic variants associated with decreased
brain volume, several found in over one - fifth of the world's population.
Scientists collaborating across 250 institutions in 35 countries have
identified variations of the genetic code that are associated with intracranial
volume, which is a reflection of the maximum
brain volume an individual achieves over a lifetime.
Voxel-wise regressions
identified focal areas within the prefrontal cortex where
volume was positively correlated with Factor 2 scores (covariates: age, race, substance abuse severity,
brain volume, and Factor 1 score)(Figure 2).
Thus, several lines of research link hypoactivity, less grey matter
volume, and less cortical thickness within the region
identified in our whole -
brain analyses as affected or altered in SUD.
