While we don't know that bipolar disorder had anything to do with FORD, we do know this did.

I hadn’t heard the word hippocampus in 50y since a freshman Psychology class. With Ford referring to it a couple of times during her testimony, I revisited the word and related it to my late sister who was bipolar, though no idea about her hypoccampal fluid volume. She wasn’t a drinker though.
Thanks for pointing out effects of alcohol on volume reductions. Fits CBF
memory lapses.
