It's The Mitochondria's Fault!

Maybe you have to be a basic research geek to appreciate this, but a recent article states that bipolars see a decrease in mitochondrial function--which is to say the cellular energy systems are kerflooey--in the hippocampus of their brains. That's interesting. But, like I said, maybe you have to be a geek. I wonder if the researchers were measuring this activity during depressive or manic phases.
