The James J. Peters VA Medical Center is looking for healthy veterans as well as veterans who are living with bipolar disorder to participate in a study that aims to better understand brain function in health and bipolar disorder.  Participants will be reimbursed up to $575 for their time.

This study involves:

interviews

questionnaires

thinking and memory tests

a blood draw

a MRI brain scan

This includes an initial full-day visit and two half-day follow-up visits.

This is an observational study, not a treatment study.  There may be no direct benefit to you.  You may receive benefit from clinical evaluation and lab results.

For more information, call Sharon at 718-584-9000 ext. 3786.
