TL;DR: Assessing the behavior, structure and topological attributes of whole-brain anatomical networks over a wide range of nodal scales, a variety of grey-matter parcellations as well as different diffusion-MRI acquisition protocols indicates that any comparison of network parameters across studies must be made with reference to the spatial scale of the nodal parcellation.

TL;DR: Emerging data shows that these biomarkers may differ between early and late stages of BD in parallel with stage-related structural and neurocognitive alterations, which facilitates identification of rational therapeutic targets, and the development of novel treatment classes.

TL;DR: Responsibility inhibition deficit, a potential marker of ventral prefrontal dysfunction, seems to be the most prominent endophenotype of bipolar disorder and the cognitive endophenotypes of BD also appears to involve fronto-temporal andFronto-limbic related cognitive impairments.

TL;DR: The persistence of ToM deficits in "remitted" patients suggests there are trait related mentalising impairments in schizophrenia, and suggests that future research should consider the potential moderating influence of IQ deficits on ToM performance in 'remitted' patients, as well as the potential effects of residual symptoms.

TL;DR: The associations between these gray matter anomalies and clinical characteristics, particularly measures relating to illness duration, suggest that chronic MDD has a robust and deleterious, albeit spatially focal, effect on brain structure.
