Bipolar disorder (BD) is associated with both increased
cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and medial-frontal
cortex dysfunction. Potential interaction between oxygen
availability and blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD)
signal during motor-inhibition was examined in BDs and
healthy controls. Base-rate cerebral venous oxygen
availability (Yv) was analyzed as a covariate. Yv group
means were similar. Lower Yv should be associated with
larger potential increase in task signal and this was
supported in distributed regions for both groups.
Importantly, a positive relationship emerged in task
related medial cortex only for BDs, possibly suggesting
dampened vascular response. Overall, model corrections
for Yv were modest.
