“…The neuropsychological literature in patients with bipolar I disorder (BP I) demonstrates impairment during the performance of executive control tasks that is pervasive across all mood states (Malhi et al, 2004(Malhi et al, , 2007Martinez-Aran et al, 2004;Henry et al, 2013). Within the domain of executive function, there is evidence of cognitive dysfunction in subjects with bipolar disorder (BP) specifically during the performance of tasks requiring response inhibition (Martinez-Aran et al, 2004;Swann et al, 2009a;Sole et al, 2011;Xu et al, 2012;Henry et al, 2013). Impairment in inhibitory control performance has been observed in subjects with bipolar disorder during mania and euthymia, and it has been shown to be a significant predictor of functional outcomes, including disability severity, quality of life and occupational functioning (Swann et al, 2009b;Reinares et al, 2013).…”
