Neurobiological Predictors of Responses to Medications in Pediatric Bipolar Disorder

Project Description Narrative:

This project will combine psychiatric interview, psychopharmacological treatment, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy to advance individualized medicine for the treatment of bipolar disorder in children. Combining neuroimaging findings with clinical understanding of psychopharmacological responses could also advance understanding into the neuroscience of drug effects and interpersonal differences.
