Repeated Electroconvulsive Shock Produces Long-lasting Increases
Electroconvulsive shock (ECS) is a highly effective therapy for the treatment of major depression, but its mechanisms of action are not known. We report that repeated ECS in rats produces enduring changes in two clinically relevant stress-responsive brain systems: (a) the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis regulated by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in the paraventricular nucleus; and (...
متن کاملSingle Electroconvulsive Shock and Dopamine Autoreceptors
Dopamine (DA) auto receptor down regulation has been suggested to mediate the therapeutic effect of antidepressant treatments including electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Suggestion has also been made that a single ECT may have antidepressant potential via such a mechanism. The present study was therefore conducted to assess the effects ill a single electroconvulsive shock (ECS) on dopamine auto ...
متن کاملAnimal model of depression: effects of electroconvulsive shock therapy.
KATZ, R. J. Animal model of depression: Effects of electroconvulsive shock therapy. NEUROSCI. BIOBEHAV. REV. 5(2) 273-277, 1981.wWe have previously identified a potentially accurate and specific behavioral and neuroendocrine model of depression in the rat. The most effective somatic treatment for severe depressions is electroconvulsive shock therapy (ECT). ECT was investigated in the prexlinica...
متن کاملDopamine Postsynaptic Receptor Effects of Restricted Schedules of Electroconvulsive Shock
Little work is available on the acute and time-dependant dopaminergic effects of single electroconvulsive shock (ECS) and multiple ECS despite the posited clinical utility of such schedules of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) administration and the posited role of dopaminergic mechanisms in iieuropsychiatric disorders. In this study, using the apomorphine-induced motility-alteration behavioural ...
متن کاملThe Effects of Electroconvulsive Shock on Addiction Behavior in Rats
Cocaine addiction is a widespread problem in the United States, lacking an appropriate treatment. Electroconvulsive shock (ECS) may repair malfunctioning dopamine neurons via induction of synaptic plasticity, providing an alternative treatment for addiction. Sprague Dawley rats were trained to seek cocaine, using a conditioned place preference (CPP) procedure. One group of rats received four c...
