Brain Lipopolysaccharide Preconditioning-Induced Gene Reprogramming Mediates a Tolerance State in Electroconvulsive Shock Model of Epilepsy [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018 There is increasing evidence pointing toward the role of inflammatory processes in epileptic seizures, and reciprocally, prolonged seizures induce more inflammation in the brain.

Electroconvulsive shock and transcranial magnetic stimulation do not alter the survival or spine density of adult-born striatal neurons. [PDF]
PLoS ONEAdult neurogenesis has most often been studied in the hippocampus and subventricular zone-olfactory bulb, where newborn neurons contribute to a variety of behaviors.

Electroconvulsive Shock, but Not Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Transiently Elevates Cell Proliferation in the Adult Mouse Hippocampus [PDF]
Cells, 2021 Hippocampal plasticity is hypothesized to play a role in the etiopathogenesis of depression and the antidepressant effect of medications. One form of plasticity that is unique to the hippocampus and is involved in depression-related behaviors in animal ...

Measurement of electroconvulsive shock Intensity [PDF]
Behavior Research Methods & Instrumentation, 1968 This paper discusses the error introduced in administering ECS by calibrating intensity on the S’s dc rather than ac resistance. Since the ac resistance of rats and mice can be lower than their corresponding dc resistance by a factor of 50, calibrating on dc resistance can introduce appreciable error depending on the current regulation of the ECS ...

Anterograde effects of a single electroconvulsive shock on inhibitory avoidance and on cued fear conditioning [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998 A single electroconvulsive shock (ECS) or a sham ECS was administered to male 3-4-month-old Wistar rats 1, 2, and 4 h before training in an inhibitory avoidance test and in cued classical fear conditioning (measured by means of freezing time in a new ...

Alteration of hyperpolarization-activated cation current-mediated metaplasticity contributes to electroconvulsive shock-induced learning and memory impairment in depressed rats [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychiatryBackgroundAccompanied by a rapid and effective antidepressant effect, electroconvulsive shock (ECS) can also induce learning and memory impairment. Our previous research reported that metaplasticity is involved in this process.

The effects of electroconvulsive shock on extinction [PDF]
Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1973 Seventy-two naive male albino rats were trained to leverpress for sucrose using a discrete trial procedure. The Ss were trained on a continuous reinforcement schedule, a fixed-, or a variable-ratio schedule. Following acquisition, for one-third of the Ss in each group, a leverpress produced an ECS; for the other two groups, which served as controls, no

Acetylcholinesterase activity in the pons and medulla oblongata of rats after chronic electroconvulsive shock [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997 An imbalance between cholinergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission has been proposed for the etiology of affective disorders. According to this hypothesis, depression would be the result of enhanced cholinergic and reduced noradrenergic ...

Compound 48/80, a histamine-depleting agent, blocks the protective effect of morphine against electroconvulsive shock in mice [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000 We have shown that morphine has an anticonvulsive effect against maximal electroconvulsive shock (MES) in mice, and this effect is antagonized by histamine H1-receptor antagonists.
