Differences in Brain Chemistry in Children and Adolescents With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder With and Without Comorbid Bipolar Disorder: A Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Study

Abstract

myo-Inositol-containing compounds may provide information on the action of antimanic treatments such as lithium, valproate, and carbamazepine. Glutamate and glutamine are measures of glutamatergic neurotransmission and thus may also reflect changes in serotonin and dopamine pathways.
