Structural Plasticity of the Hippocampus and Amygdala Induced by Electroconvulsive Therapy in Major Depression
Open accessAbstract
Background Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) elicits a rapid and robust clinical response in patients with refractory depression. Neuroimaging measures of structural plasticity relating to and predictive of ECT response may point to the mechanisms underlying rapid antidepressant effects and establish biomarkers to inform other treatments. Here, we determine the effects of 1) diagnosis and 2) ECT on global and local variations of hippocampal and amygdalar structure in major depression and predictors of ECT-related clinical response Methods Longitudinal changes in hippocampal and amygdala structure were examined in patients with major depression (N= 43, scanned thrice; prior to ECT, after the 2nd ECT session, and within one week of completing the ECT treatment series) referred for ECT as part of their standard clinical care. Cross-sectional comparisons with demographically similar controls (N= 32, scanned twice) established effects of diagnosis. Results Patients showed smaller hippocampal volumes compared to controls at baseline (p<.04). Both hippocampal and amygdalar volumes increased with ECT (p<.001) and in relation to symptom improvement (p<.01). Hippocampal volume at baseline predicted subsequent clinical response (p<.05). Shape analysis revealed pronounced morphometric changes in the anterior hippocampus and basolateral and centromedial amygdala. All structural measures remained stable across time in controls. Conclusions ECT induced neuroplasticity in the hippocampus and amygdala relates to improved clinical response and is pronounced in regions with prominent connections to ventromedial prefrontal cortex and other limbic structures. Smaller hippocampal volumes at baseline predict a more robust clinical response. Neurotrophic processes including neurogenesis shown in preclinical studies may underlie these structural changes.

In the citing paper
“Recent clinical studies showed that electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) promoted structural plasticity including increased volume and morphometric changes in the hippocampus and the amygdala along with improved clinical responses, especially in patients with a smaller hippocampal volume (Joshi et al. 2016; Nordanskog et al. 2010; Tendulkar et al. 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
