Abstract text:	To evaluate the literature pertaining to the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in bipolar disorder research. Method: A search for papers published in English in journals from 1984 onwards was conducted using MedLine and EMBASE with the following terms: functional neuroimaging or fMRI and depression or bipolar disorder. In addition, retrieved papers and literature known to the authors was also scrutinized for further relevant reports. Results: The research findings from 26 articles are tabulated and the results from 10 articles dealing specifically with bipolar disorder are discussed in detail. Conclusion: fMRI is a useful tool for investigating bipolar disorder. Preliminary studies point to trait and state abnormalities involving structures known to be associated with the generation and modulation of emotion. The patterns of fMRI activation are different to those found in healthy subjects and patients with major depression. FMRI studies are likely to provide valuable insights into the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder.

The Reprint Request service is currently unavailable. The webform interface is not passing on your requests despite saying it has. PDF's of articles are also not available unless specifically linked from the record under the link field. Open Access papers are accessible this way when available. We are not able to fulfill pdf requests due to copyright and contractual restrictions. Inclusion in the Bibliography does not mean that a copy is available, this is foremost a record of the unit's work. Papers marked 'In Press' have not been published so are not available. Books and tests are also not available for copying. These are commerical products and you will need to buy them, or indeed contact your local library service to get a copy. If a record is from a conference and does not show more than one page number then the record/abstract on the page is the complete record. These are mainly a record of participation in a conference, such as a poster or a talk. Some of these records represent literally nothing more than a line.
