Description
Hao Yu and co-authors review brain scan studies of working memory in bipolar disorder in a 2026 article. Holding and using information in mind is often impaired in the condition, but whether type I and type II differ in brain terms was unclear. The review gathered task based scan studies that reported the two types apart.
Searches of three databases for work from 2011 to 2025 yielded 22 studies for joint reading. Type I studies more often showed strained control networks and weak quieting of resting networks under load. Type II proof was very thin, with only three studies, and hinted at more preserved function when mood was stable. The authors stress that firm type contrasts await more type II research.
