Bipolar affective disorder (BPD) is associated with cognitive deficits and brain structural aberrations, including hippocampal abnormalities, 1 which are proposed to play a fundamental role in the etiology of psychotic symptoms. 2 The hippocampal formation is a key component of the limbic system involved in numerous cognitive functions including pattern separation/completion and input integration, which contribute to the incorporation of newly formed memories. 3 The hippocampus is a heterogeneous structure composed of biologically and functionally distinct subfields, namely the cornu ammonis (CA) 1-4, subiculum (Sub) complex, and dentate gyrus (DG). 4 Additionally, there is a functional segregation along the longitudinal axis, where the anterior portions of the hippocampus are highly
