Outline of Final Research Achievements

In a current status of clinical psychiatry, Therefore, the patients with bipolar disorder (BD) are often misdiagnosed and cannot receive the adequate treatment. This is probably due to the facts that the biological pathology of BD is unrevealed and the diagnostic method and treatment marker are not well developed. Neural circuitry restricted to the primary auditory cortex can be assessed using magnetoencephalography (MEG) - auditory steady-state response (ASSR). In binaural ASSR, a region of interest was marked in supratemporal gyrus. The strong power and increased phase-locking factors (PLFs) in time-frequency domain were robustly observed in normal controls while those of BDs were unremarkable. In monaural ASSR, the results of the PLFs in BDs were considered to be stable with continuation in the right hemisphere. MEG is an equipment that is non-invasive for patients. We will continue to apply ASSR to BD for determining the objective biomarker of BD.
