Background

Cognitive reserve (CR) reflects the capacity of the brain to endure neuropathology, minimize clinical manifestations and successfully complete cognitive tasks. The present study aims to determine whether high CR may constitute a moderator of cognitive functioning in bipolar disorder (BD).

Methods

One hundred and two patients with BD and 32 healthy controls were enrolled. All patients met DSM-IV criteria for I or II BD and were euthymic (YMRS ≤ 6 and HDRS ≤ 8) during a 6-month period. All participants were tested with a comprehensive neuropsychological battery, and a Cerebral Reserve Score (CRS) was estimated. Subjects with a CRS below the group median were classified as having low CR, whereas participants with a CRS above the median value were considered to have high CR.

Results

Participants with BD with high CR displayed a better performance in measures of attention (digits forward: F = 4.554, P = 0.039); phonemic and semantic verbal fluency (FAS: F = 9.328, P = 0.004; and Animal Naming: F = 8.532, P = 0.006); and verbal memory (short cued recall of California Verbal Learning Test: F = 4.236, P = 0.046), after multivariable adjustment for potential confounders, including number of admissions and prior psychotic symptoms.

Conclusions

High cognitive reserve may therefore be a valuable construct to explore for predicting neurocognitive performance in patients with BD regarding premorbid status.
