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.
