Transient increase of plasma concentrations of amyloid β peptides after electroconvulsive therapy

Transient increase of plasma concentrations of amyloid β peptides after electroconvulsive therapy

Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is applied to effectively treat depressive episodes, and it can be considered an ideal model of generalized seizures induced and performed under precisely controllable conditions. Objective: We hypothesize that ECT causes a transiently increased blood-brai...
