TL;DR
Kraepelin separated manic—depressive illness (bipolar disorder) from dementia praecox (schizophrenia) on the basis that those suffering from the former tended to experience full remission, whereas the latter did not.

Archives of General PsychiatryAn Inventory for Measuring Depression
38,163 Citations1961Aaron T. Beck
The difficulties inherent in obtaining consistent and adequate diagnoses for the purposes of research and therapy have been pointed out and a wide variety of psychiatric rating scales have been developed.
NatureSubgenual prefrontal cortex abnormalities in mood disorders
2,701 Citations1997Wayne C. Drevets, Joseph L. Price +5 more
Using positron emission tomographic images of cerebral blood flow and rate of glucose metabolism to measure brain activity, an area of abnormally decreased activity is localized in the pre-frontal cortex ventral to the genu of the corpus callosum in both familial bipolar depressives and familial unipolar depressives.
The British Journal of PsychiatrySustained attention deficit in bipolar disorder
540 Citations2002Luke Clark, Susan D. Iversen +1 more
Sustained attention deficit may represent a neuropsychological vulnerability marker for bipolar disorder, providing a focus for further understanding of the phenotype and analysis of the neuronal networks involved.
The British Journal of PsychiatryNeuropsychological function in euthymic patients with bipolar disorder
429 Citations1999I. Nicol Ferrier, Biba Stanton +2 more
These findings provide good evidence for the existence of neuropsychological impairment in patients with euthymic bipolar disorder, although the possible effect of medication should not be overlooked.
Archives of General PsychiatryCognitive Impairment in Euthymic Bipolar Patients With and Without Prior Alcohol Dependence
418 Citations1998Wilfred G. van Gorp, Lori L. Altshuler +3 more
The findings support the presence of persistent neurocognitive difficulties in patients with long-standing bipolar disorder who are not in the psychiatrically acute state or who are suffering the effects of alcohol abuse and suggest that there may be an aggregate negative effect of lifetime duration of bipolar illness on memory and frontal or executive systems.
Biological PsychiatryAn MRI study of temporal lobe structures in men with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia
371 Citations2000Lori L. Altshuler, George Bartzokis +7 more
The results suggest differences in affected limbic structures in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder may shed light on the underlying pathophysiology and presentation of the two disorders.
Psychological MedicineCognitive impairment in the euthymic phase of affective disorder
295 Citations1998Lars Vedel Kessing
Cognitive impairment in out-patients with unipolar and bipolar disorder appears to be associated with the number of affective episodes, and patients with recurrent episodes were significantly more impaired than patients with a single episode and more impairing than controls.
Psychological MedicineCognitive impairment in remission in bipolar affective disorder
292 Citations2000Judy Rubinsztein, A. Michael +2 more
It is demonstrated that patients in remission show a relatively specific impairment in memory with recovery of accuracy measures on executive function task, suggesting that in neuroanatomical terms, more posterior cortical function (temporal lobe) has not improved but there is at least some recovery of frontal lobe function in remission.
The British Journal of PsychiatryCase–control study of neurocognitive function in euthymic patients with bipolar disorder: An association with mania
262 Citations2002Jonathan Cavanagh, M. Van Beck +2 more
Impaired verbal learning and memory may be a trait variable in bipolar disease and implications for adherence to medication and relapse and for the role of early treatment interventions are explored.

Psychotherapy and PsychosomaticsCognitive Dysfunctions in Bipolar Disorder: Evidence of Neuropsychological Disturbances
244 Citations1999Anabel Martínez‐Arán, Eduard Vieta +5 more
Methodological limitations warrant further research in order to clear up the relationship between neuropsychological functioning and clinical, demographic and treatment variables in bipolar disorder.
The Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseCognitive Impairment in the Euthymic Phase of Chronic Unipolar Depression
243 Citations1997Sergio Paradiso, Greg J. Lamberty +2 more
Male patients with a history of chronic unipolar disorder are at risk for cognitive impairment in the nonsymptomatic phase of their disease and cognitive disturbance is the type seen with prefrontal dysfunction and may be assessed with standard neuropsychological assessments.

227 Citations1997Poul Videbech
No studies have indicated that psychoactive drugs or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) might cause the lesions in the brains of unipolar and bipolar patients, but on the other hand they can probably increase the risk of delirium complicating the treatment.

141 Citations2001P. Brian Moore, Debra Shepherd +5 more
Subcortical white matter lesions are associated with poor outcome bipolar disorder and are seen more frequently in subjects whose illness has a poor outcome compared with those with a good outcome or controls.
The British Journal of PsychiatryPsychotherapy for Bipolar Disorder
122 Citations1995Jan Scott
Given the significant associated morbidity and mortality, there is a clear need for more systematic clinical management that addresses psychosocial as well as biological aspects of bipolar disorder.
The British Journal of PsychiatryNeurodevelopmental antecedents of early-onset bipolar affective disorder
120 Citations1999Engilbert Sigurðsson, Éric Fombonne +2 more
Compared to early-onset unipolar depression, neurodevelopmental antecedents are over-represented in early-ONSet bipolar disorder.
PubMedA preliminary study of the relation of neuropsychological performance to neuroanatomic structures in bipolar disorder.
68 Citations2000Omar Ali, Denicoff Kd +7 more
Data suggest that a larger right hippocampal volume is associated with poorer neuropsychological functioning, and the relation between volumetric measures of neuroanatomic structures in patients with bipolar disorder is investigated.
Journal of PsychopharmacologyEffect of repeated methylphenidate administration on presynaptic dopamine and behaviour in young adult rats
40 Citations2001Eleanor J. Sproson, Jonquille Chantrey +3 more
A repeated dose of methylphenidate that had acute behavioural effects produced no long-term alteration in social interaction but attenuated presynaptic striatal dopamine function following subchronicmethylphenidate administration to adolescent rats.
