Relationship between regional homogeneity changes and cognitive dysfunction in patients with first-episode drug-naïve bipolar II disorder in the depressive phase

Key Points

• Cognitive dysfunction correlates with changes in regional homogeneity in the brain, indicating neurobiological connections.
• Key findings reveal significant alterations in brain activity measured by imaging techniques in 30 patients.
• Assessment using brain imaging identifies connectivity patterns associated with cognitive dysfunction in bipolar disorder.
• Highlights the need for further exploration of neurobiological mechanisms, as findings are derived from a specific patient sample.
