Just a suggestion:

Bipolar is a chemical/genetic problem. It is not an organic
defect that shows up in MRIs as a rule, unless there is something else, like a brain injury present.

However, there are MRI studies like this one:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10331102

That show some schizophrenias may show up in MRI studies.
As far as I know, this is still being studied and not a given
finding in all patients with schizophrenia.

Please don't confuse Bipolar with schizophrenia.
