Abstract
An analogue of the fMRI CVLT was used to investigate the relationship between baseline episodic memory and response to psychotherapy in dysthymic individuals with DSM-IV Bipolar -I disorder. Reduced HAM-D scores positively correlated with increased activation in working memory networks, particularly superior parietal cortex (information manipulation) and VLPFC (category switching).
