An NMR study of lithium responding manic depressive patients

Manic depressive patients on long-term prophylactic therapy with lithium carbonate are examined by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Their ventricular brain ratios and cerebral grey and white matter spin lattice relaxation times ( T 1) are within normal limits. The implication of thes...

Zusammenfassung:	Manic depressive patients on long-term prophylactic therapy with lithium carbonate are examined by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Their ventricular brain ratios and cerebral grey and white matter spin lattice relaxation times ( T 1) are within normal limits. The implication of these findings in the light of previous studies using other techniques is discussed.
