Electroconvulsive Seizures Regulate Gene Expression of Distinct Neurotrophic Signaling Pathways
17 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) remains the treatment of choice for drug-resistant patients with depressive disorders, yet the mechanism for its efficacy remains unknown. Gene transcription changes were measured in the frontal cortex and hippocampus of rats subjected to sham seizures or to 1 or 10 electroconvulsive seizures (ECS), a model of ECT. Among the 3500-4400 RNA sequences detected in each sample, ECS...
