The neural correlates of cognitive control in bipolar I disorder: an fMRI study of medial frontal cortex activation during a Go/No-go task.

•The functional role of the medial frontal cortex in bipolar disorder is unclear.•We performed an fMRI-study to compare brain activations in patients and controls.•The subjects were challenged on a Go/NoGo-task during the fMRI-session.•We found no differences in fMRI-activations between the patient and control group.
