Of the bipolar subjects (bipolar with and bipolar without psychosis n = 56), 43 were included in prior publications; of the 29 HCs, 20 were included in previous publications

Socioeconomic status was assessed using the Hollingshead Scale. Onset of the disorder, number of episodes, and duration of illness were also obtained. Measures of psychopathology were obtained using the Mania Rating Scale (MRS),37,38 including the psychosis items, and the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF).

diagnosis of psychosis (either with BPD or SZ) was based on lifetime history
Diagnostic criteria
-
In the case of BPD, the diagnosis was made if full DSM-IV diagnostic criteria were met BPD I (lifetime) with all subjects having clear cycles and meeting duration criteria

All children, including the HCs, underwent diagnostic semistructured (Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia: Epidemiologic Version—KSADS-E)34 and clinical interviews by board-certified child psychiatrists. Each child received a physical and neurological examination (including Tanner Staging: a I–V scale of pubertal development).35,36 Additionally, parents were administered an indirect KSADS-E regarding their children (see Frazier et al12 for more detail).

Exclusion criteria in both groups included presence of major sensorimotor handicaps; full-scale IQ < 70; presence of documented learning disabilities; history of claustrophobia, autism, anorexia, bulimia nervosa, alcohol or drug dependence or abuse (in the 2 months prior to the scan or total past history of 12 months or greater); active medical or neurological disease; presence of metal fragments or implants; history of electroconvulsive therapy; and current pregnancy or lactation.

we predicted that there would be diagnosis-by-sex interactions in subcortical structures rich in sex hormone receptors, particularly in the amygdala and hippocampus.
-
we predicted, based on previous reports, that youths with BPD would have abnormal NA volumes22,23 and that youths with SZ would have reduced thalamic volumes.24,33 We also predicted that the BPD with psychosis group would share features with the BPD without psychosis and the primary psychotic disorder groups
-
there were diagnosis-by-sex interactions in the amygdala and hippocampus,
result
-
There were no limbic volumetric differences between BPD and SZ

-
SZ showed reduced thalamic volumes bilaterally and both BPD groups had larger right nucleus accumbens (NA) volumes relative to HC

-
we hypothesized that reduced amygdala volume would more reliably be associated with BPD and reduced hippocampal volume with SZ.
-
we set out to compare youths with early-onset BPD without psychosis and BPD with psychosis to those with SZ to discern if there would be findings in the amygdala and the hippocampus that would differentiate these disorders.
-
the increased NA in both the BPD without psychosis and the BPD with psychosis and not in the group with SZ suggests that this finding may be relatively specific to bipolar illness processes.
inference
-
Our finding of a reduced thalamic volume in SZ and not BPD suggests that the thalamus may be more intimately involved in the SZ phenotype
inference
-
we did find that amygdala volumes in the BPD without psychosis group correlated inversely with the MRS, which suggests the involvement of this structure in the clinical phenotype.
inference
-
the most consistently reported finding in early-onset BPD is a reduced amygdala volume16 and in early-onset SZ, a decreased hippocampal volume.
literature summary
-
we found that youths with SZ had the smallest thalamic volumes bilaterally, with at least a moderate effect size when compared with the other 3 groups
result summary
-
We found that there were no volumetric differences between SZ and BPD in the amygdala and the hippocampus, which was not consistent with our a priori hypothesis.
result summary
-
This study investigated the volumetric differences in subcortical gray matter volumes, particularly the amygdala and the hippocampus, in early-onset BPD without psychosis, BPD with psychosis, and SZ in order to elucidate the diagnostic specificity of patterns of subcortical neural abnormality. In addition, this study evaluated diagnosis-by-sex interactions to understand the influence of sexual dimorphism on the limbic structures.
Objective
-
Effects sizes between the BPD groups and SZ were 0.38 (right) and 0.42 (left), suggesting that there is a bilateral diagnostic difference in this structure.
result
-
The right NA showed a significant diagnostic difference (F3,93 = 3.15, P = .03) and was found to be larger in both BPD groups relative to HC (effect sizes: 0.74–0.78);
result
-
The pairwise effect sizes for both hemispheres between the SZ group and the others were all moderate, suggesting overall diagnostic differences (Cohen d range: 0.64–0.74 [right]; 0.41–0.54 [left])
result
-
Exploratory analyses of other subcortical structures showed that youths with SZ had the smallest thalamic volumes, significantly so in the right (F3,93 = 3.1, P = .03)
result
-
smaller thalamus was associated with SZ while larger right NA volumes were most related to BPD

-
youths with BPD with and without psychosis had increased right and left NA volumes, with a moderate effect size compared with the other groups
result summary
-
We found that males with SZ had smaller left amygdala volumes relative to other groups and that females with BPD had the smallest left hippocampus.
result summary
-
we found that the right amygdala volume correlated with GAF scores in the SZ group.
result summary
-
we did find that amygdala volumes in the BPD without psychosis group correlated inversely with the MRS
result summary
-
When diagnosis-by-sex interactions were evaluated, males with SZ had the smallest left amygdala and females with BPD had the smallest left hippocampus.
result summary
-
these data suggest that specific subcortical brain regions are differentially affected in early-onset BPD and SZ, perhaps suggesting that these are disease-specific abnormalities.
Inference
-
We also found that the youths with BPD with psychosis only shared findings with the BPD without psychosis and not with the primary psychotic disorder group
result summary
-
Both the thalamic finding and the right NA finding were independent of sex effects.
