Shared brain biomarker for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder identified
A collaborative study by researchers from the University of Florence in Florence, Italy, Geneva University Hospital in Geneva, Switzerland and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland has provided new evidence supporting the existence of a psychosis spectrum. The meta-analysis suggests that schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (BD) share significant neurological commonalities, particularly within the brain’s white matter.
The researchers are Giuseppe Pierpaolo Merola, Livio Tarchi, Luigi Francesco Saccaro, Farnaz Delavari, Camille Piguet, Dimitri Van de Ville, Giovanni Castellini and Valdo Ricca. Their paper was published in Nature Mental Health.
Breaking the silo of psychiatric research
Historically, neuroimaging research has treated schizophrenia and bipolar disorder as distinct entities. However, Merola, Tarchi, Saccaro, Delavari, Piguet, Van de Ville, Castellini and Ricca analyzed three decades of mgnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to find overlapping alterations.
By reviewing 30 years of brain imaging, the team sought to identify shared brain signatures that persist across both conditions, regardless of the patient’s age or sex.
The most significant discovery was the identification of white matter alterations in the corpus callosum, the primary bridge connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain. This structural change appears to be a candidate biomarker for both disorders.
Implications for diagnosis and prevention
The study’s findings offer several potential breakthroughs for mental healthcare:
The research team plans to transition to longitudinal studies, tracking high-risk individuals over time. This next phase aims to determine if these white matter differences are present before the first clinical symptoms of schizophrenia or BD emerge, or if they develop as the conditions progress.

Just when you think that it can’t get any dumber out here….RFK Jr. comes along claiming that a keto diet can cure schizophrenia and erase bipolar disorder
A study analyzes postmortem human brain tissue to identify brain regions involved in bipolar disorder. Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing, researchers found a substantial loss of excitatory neurons in the paraventricular thalamic nucleus and altered gene activity, suggesting this deep brain structure as a key site in BD pathology. The findings point toward new directions for diagnosis and treatment, while noting limitations such as small sample size and medication effects.
This work is of interest to psychology enthusiasts because it highlights a subcortical brain region involved in emotion regulation and the molecular changes that may underlie bipolar disorder. It also demonstrates how advanced methods like single-cell analysis can illuminate cellular-level changes associated with psychiatric conditions.

Scientists Discover Neural Basis of Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder -SciTechDaily.com

Using lab-grown brain tissue, researchers uncovered complex patterns of neural signaling that differ subtly between healthy brains and those linked to severe psychiatric disorders.
For the first time, scientists have used pea-sized brain organoids grown in the laboratory to uncover how neurons may malfunction in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. These psychiatric conditions affect millions of people around the world, yet they remain difficult to diagnose because researchers still lack a clear understanding of their underlying molecular mechanisms.
The results could eventually help clinicians reduce diagnostic uncertainty when treating these and other mental health conditions. At present, such disorders are typically identified through clinical judgment alone, and treatment often relies on lengthy trial-and-error approaches to medication.
A detailed account of the findings was published in the journal APL Bioengineering.
“Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are very hard to diagnose because no particular part of the brain goes off. No specific enzymes are going off like in Parkinson’s, another neurological disease where doctors can diagnose and treat based on dopamine levels even though it still doesn’t have a proper cure,” said Annie Kathuria, a Johns Hopkins University biomedical engineer who led the research. “Our hope is that in the future we can not only confirm a patient is schizophrenic or bipolar from brain organoids, but that we can also start testing drugs on the organoids to find out what drug concentrations might help them get to a healthy state.”

Kathuria’s team created the organoids, simplified versions of brain tissue, by reprogramming blood and skin cells from people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and from healthy volunteers into stem cells capable of forming brain-like structures. They then applied machine learning tools to analyze the electrical activity of the organoids’ cells, allowing them to identify neural firing patterns associated with healthy and diseased states. In the human brain, neurons communicate through small electrical signals.

Please stop using "Bipolar" as an adjective.
Have you ever heard someone say, "Watch out for him today, he's being so bipolar" or "My boss is being so bipolar" or even "I can't decide which shoes to buy, I'm being so bipolar about it"?
While it might seem like a harmless figure of speech, it is actually a form of casual ableism.
Here is why:
1) It trivializes a disability. Bipolar disorder isn't just "changing your mind" or "being moody." While everyone experiences ups and downs, Bipolar disorder involves physiological shifts in energy, sleep, and judgment that are often beyond a person’s control. It is a complex mental health condition involving intense manic and depressive episodes that can impact every aspect of a person’s life.
A manic episode is not just "being happy." It can involve a dangerous loss of touch with reality, racing thoughts, and physical exhaustion. A depressive episode is not just "being sad." It is a debilitating clinical state that can make basic survival feel impossible. When we use the word casually, we erase the immense effort it takes for folks to manage these extremes.
2) It reinforces stigma. Using the diagnosis to describe something "unpredictable" or "annoying" suggests that people with the condition are inherently difficult, "crazy," or erratic. The stereotype forces many people into silence.
The truth is, you likely know someone with bipolar disorder, like a colleague who never misses a deadline, a friend who is a pillar of support, or a family member who is incredibly high-functioning. Because of the way the word is thrown around as an insult, they often have to hide their diagnosis to avoid being judged by tropes you’re using. When you use the word casually, you are telling those people that you view their identity as a negative trait.
3) It erases the reality. When "bipolar" is used as a joke, it creates an environment where people living with the condition feel they can’t be honest about their struggles. If the word is always associated with being "dramatic" or "moody" in your social circle, a person experiencing a genuine crisis will likely stay silent to avoid being seen as a stereotype. It turns a medical necessity into a social risk. When we stop using the word as a punchline, we open the door for real, life-saving conversations. Language is the environment we live in. When we use clinical terms as insults, we make the environment toxic for the people who actually need those terms to describe their lives.
If you learned something new from this post or would like to help spread awareness, please share it. We should work together to make our language more inclusive. Have you ever experienced this kind of ableist language in your daily life? Whether you’ve been the one hearing it or the one who realized they needed to change their vocabulary, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
