Abstract: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic mental illness with high recurrence rate and disability. As one of the core symptoms, cognitive impairment may occurs at every stage of the disease. Evidence from the neuroimaging studies revealed that the abnormal brain volumes, the blood flow and oxygen saturation of key brain areas are related to executive impairment in patients with bipolar disorder. This article reviews current structural and functional neuroimaging studies about the executive impairment of patients with euthymic bipolar disorder and research progresses.

Key words: bipolar disorder, executive impairment, neuroimaging
