CBZ = carbamazepine; LMTG = lamotrigine; LIT = lithium; OCBZ = oxcarbazepine; TPM = topiramate; VPA = valproic acid; RT = reaction time; SAT = shifting attention test

^*SAT efficiency is calculated as (SAT RT/percentage correct)/1000; a lower score is better.

^*An asterisk indicates tests on which a lower score is better than a higher score.
