A recent review about the mode of action of lithium:

@article{baraban:94,
        author  = {Jay M. Baraban},
        title   = {Towards a crystal-clear view of lithium's site of action.},
        journal = PNAS,
        volume  = 91,
        pages   = {5738--5739},
        year    = 1994
}

Hope that helps,
--Cornelius.
