Do you suffer from Bipolar disorder? Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston may have made a discovery with huge implications on finding a cure. It turns out that a volume decrease in specific parts of the brain's hippocampus -- long identified as a hub of mood and memory processing – is linked to bipolar disorder. Using MRI the researchers were able to identify parts of the brain that have actually been damaged, causing the disorder. This is the first study to effectively locate the part of the brain that has been affected. When it comes to finding the answer to a problem, the first thing is to understand the problem completely. This research puts us on the right path for a future cure.
