I cannot send them to you since my son and my uncle (late) have the right of privacy.
BUT--our son, whom we adopted, suffers from bipolar, fetal alcohol syndrome, and fragile x. MRI's of his brain DO show the prefrontal cortex as significantly altered.
My mom's sister's husband suffered from schizophrenia and his MRI's were typical for late stage of that disease. You can literally watch the ventricals enlarge and the brain shrink with the passage of time.
My cousin also has bipolar, as does an ex son in law. You can also see the difference in their brains on PET scans. You can see the areas that get good activity and the one's that don't.
My cousin is and has always been the sweetest, most loyal to the Lord good Baptist lady I have known. I have never known anyone as sold out to the Lord as she is.
She doesn't manifest the disease as sinful behavior. Rather, what the shrinks call the "housekeeping functions" of the brain don't work. She will have times she cannot sleep, is agitated and cleans house like a son of gun, speaks too fast, and complains of racing thoughts. Then she cannot wake up and sleeps far too much, gains weight even when eating very little, and cannot remember simple tasks. Lethargy, pain, and debilitating sadness take over her feelings.
AND THROUGH IT ALL she has worked, raised her family, taken care of her home and child and husband, and served her church and her Lord faithfully.
Judge not lest ye be judged.

. But she has often apologized for such snaps, telling me that the way she feels did not give her an excuse to treat me badly.
