Abstract

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 (T1) are within normal limits. The implication of these findings in the light of previous studies using other techniques is discussed.
