The Effects of Bipolar Disorder Granule Cell Hyperexcitability and Lithium Therapy on Pattern Separation in a Computational Model of the Dentate Gyrus

This study uses a computational model of the dentate gyrus to show that lithium therapy improves pattern separation in bipolar disorder patients only by normalizing spontaneous activity, not by reducing cell excitability.

Divergent Excitability of GABAergic Neurons Derived from Bipolar Disorder Patients Shapes Energy Shifts of Network Dynamics, possibly mimicking mania and depression

This study compares lithium-responsive and non-responsive bipolar disorder patients' GABAergic neurons, showing divergent excitability that drives network state shifts, potentially linked to mood episodes.

The Impact of Electrophysiological Diversity on Pattern Completion in Lithium Nonresponsive Bipolar Disorder: A Computational Modelling Approach

This paper uses a computational model of the hippocampal CA3 to show that excitability variance in pyramidal cells impairs pattern completion in lithium nonresponsive bipolar disorder patients.

Bridging Big Data: Procedures for Combining Non-equivalent Cognitive Measures from the ENIGMA Consortium

The paper demonstrates a data harmonization process for memory testing across 53 studies, reducing inter-site variance while preserving covariate effects.

Characteristic impairments of goal-directed and habitual control in bulimia nervosa

This study examines the relationship between symptom severity and model-based (MB) and model-free (MF) control in bulimia nervosa (BN), finding impaired MF control distinguishes BN from other groups.
