Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropsychological frontal lobe tests indicate that bipolar depressed patients are more impaired than unipolar.
TL;DR: A higher degree of cognitive dysfunction connected with frontal lobe activity during an acute depressive episode was found in bipolar compared with unipolar depressed patients, which may corroborate other findings pointing to pathogenic distinctions between bipolar and unipolar affective illness and to some similarities between bipolar illness and schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymorphism of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene and performance on a cognitive prefrontal test in bipolar patients.
TL;DR: The performance on a neurocognitive test, the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), was significantly better in subjects with Val/Val BDNF genotype compared withVal/Met genotype, suggesting a role of BDNF in prefrontal cognitive function in bipolar illness.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An association of this polymorphism with performance on the N‐back test in schizophrenia and not in bipolar illness may suggest that in schizophrenia, the BDNF system may be connected with early phases of information processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Illness-specific association of val66met BDNF polymorphism with performance on Wisconsin Card Sorting Test in bipolar mood disorder.
TL;DR: Researchers have found an illness-specific association of val66met BDNF polymorphism with performance on Wisconsin Card Sorting Test in bipolar mood disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The first report on the validation of the Polish version of TEMPS-A has a good internal consistency and generally cohere with those from previously validated versions in other languages.
