[Influence of lithium on cognitive functions].
A free word-association quantitative test gave significantly different results in 48 manic-depressive patients and 29 normal controls. The difference was unrelated to subgroup diagnosis or to the patients' mood at the time of testing, but was related to the frequency of cycles. In patients treated with lithium, a positive correlation was found between measurements and serum lithium levels.
