Abstract
Lithium, which is used routinely in the treatment of mania, is composed of two stable isotopes, lithium-7 (92.58%) and lithium-6 (7.42%). Usually there is minimal physiological or biochemical differentiation between isotopes of an element, but lithium is an exception. Data derived from a variety of biochemical and behavioral experiments are reviewed to support this idea. Additionally, the clinical implications of this work are presented.Entities:
