Effects of electroconvulsive therapy on hippocampal longitudinal axis and its association with cognitive side effects - Communications Medicine
Ousdal et al. investigate whether global or regional hippocampal volume increase after Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for major depressive episodes relate to cognitive side effects. Their findings suggest that pronounced structural change in the posterior hippocampus (i.e., body and tail) associates with reduced cognitive performance following ECT.
