  "abstract": "BACKGROUND: Identifying reproducible neural markers of bipolar disorder (BD) risk is critical for early detection and differentiation from unipolar/major depression. We previously demonstrated that interamygdala functional connectivity (FC) and bilateral ventrolateral prefrontal cortex-right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC-dlPFC) FC were positively associated with both mania/hypomania and depression risk and mania/hypomania risk, respectively, as measured by the Mood Spectrum Self-Report (MOODS-SR) mood subdomains, and this was replicated in 3 independent samples. We tested whether these neural markers also generalized to the MOODS-SR cognition and energy subdomains and whether they are elevated in individuals with BD versus individuals at risk. METHODS: Three independent young adult samples without BD (n = 299/ages 18-30 years) completed a functional magnetic resonance imaging approach emotion-processing task (discovery n = 114/age = 21.60 ± 1.91 years; test sample 1 n = 103/21.57 ± 2.09 years; test sample 2 n = 82/23.43 ± 2.86 years), and a fourth sample with BD (n = 32/25.11 ± 3.73 years) completed the same protocol. Poisson loglinear models were used to test whether previously identified neural markers of MOODS-SR mood subdomains were also associated with manic and depressive cognition and energy subdomains. One-way analyses of variance were used to compare neural variables showing significant relationships with subdomain scores between low-risk, high-risk, and BD groups. RESULTS: = 3.56, p = .03) and was higher in BD versus low-risk and in high-risk versus low-risk groups (ps = .033). CONCLUSIONS: Interamygdala FC emerged as a robust cross-dimensional correlate of BD risk, linking subsyndromal risk to syndromal BD, whereas vlPFC-dlPFC FC was specific to mania risk. Findings support a multidimensional circuit-based model of BD risk supporting early identification and prevention.",
