“…Functional imaging experiments show aberrant perfusion and metabolism in this region of both disorders (Baker et al, 1997;Erkwoh et al, 1997;Haznedar et al, 1997;Rubinsztein et al, 2001), while magnetic resonance studies demonstrate decreased gray matter volume in patients with bipolar disorder (Drevets et al, 1997;Lopez-Larson et al, 2002). At the histopathological level, a reduction in laminar thickness and neuron densities in layers III, V, and VI of ACCx (Bouras et al, 2001) as well as decreases in glial cell density have been reported in ACCx of bipolars (Knable, 1999;Ongur et al, 1998).…”
