The ACC plays a key role in connecting the frontal cortex to limbic structures and is consistently implicated in the neurobiology of Bipolar Disorder. H-1-MRS studies comparing neurometabolite levels in the ACC of BD patients and healthy controls found increased levels of Glx, Gln, choline, and Cho/Creatine in BD. Different mood states and medication status were associated with specific neurometabolite patterns in the ACC.
The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a brain region that mediates affect and cognition by connecting the frontal cortex to limbic structures, has been consistently implicated in the neurobiology of Bipolar Disorder (BD). Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-1-MRS) studies have extensively compared in vivo neurometabolite levels of BD patients and healthy controls (HC) in the ACC. However, these studies have not been analyzed in a systematic review or meta-analysis and nor has the influence of mood state and medication on neurometabolites been examined in this cortical region. A systematic review and a meta-analysis of H-1-MRS studies comparing ACC neurometabolite profiles of adult BD patients and HC subjects was conducted, retrieving 27 articles published between 2000 and 2018. Overall increased ACC levels of Glx [glutamine (Gln) + glutamate)/Creatine], Gln, choline (Cho) and Cho/Creatine were found in BD compared to HC. Bipolar depression was associated with higher Cho levels, while euthymia correlated with higher glutamine (Gln) and Cho. Mood stabilizers appeared to affect ACC Glu and Gln metabolites. Increased ACC Cho observed in euthymia, depression and in medication-free groups could be considered a trait marker in BD and attributed to increased cell membrane phospholipid turnover. Overall increased ACC Glx was associated with elevated Gln levels, particularly influenced by euthymia, but no abnormality in Glu was detected. Further H-1-MRS studies, on other voxels, should assess more homogeneous (mood state-specific), larger BD samples and account for medication status using more sensitive H-1-MRS techniques.
