 Project Summary  Katherine Burdick, Ph.D. (Young Investigator 2005) of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Zucker Hillside Hospital, hopes to better characterize the cognitive impairment found in bipolar disorder in order to focus on the heritability (the component of cognition that is inherited from one’s parents) of these deficits. To address these goals, Dr. Burdick will assess 55 patients with bipolar disorder (during a period of relative wellness), 55 of their siblings (not diagnosed with bipolar disorder), and 55 healthy controls using a battery of tests, including measure of attention, memory, visual skills, and higher-level processing. Specific markers will be identified that meet criteria for use in future studies aimed at finding the genes that cause bipolar disorder. Program Area: MOOD DISORDERS\Bipolar |
