A computational model of direct brain excitation induced by electroconvulsive therapy: Comparison among three conventional electrode placements

Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a highly effective treatment for severe depressive disorder. Efficacy and cognitive outcomes have been shown to depend on variations in electrode placement and other stimulus parameters, presumably because of differences in the pattern of neuronal activ...
