Electroconvulsive Shock Does Not Impair the Reconsolidation of Cued and Contextual Pavlovian Threat Memory. [PDF]
Existing memories, when retrieved under certain circumstances, can undergo modification through the protein synthesis-dependent process of reconsolidation. Disruption of this process can lead to the weakening of a memory trace, an approach which is being

Ryanodine receptors are involved in the improvement of depression-like behaviors through electroconvulsive shock in stressed mice [PDF]
Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is effective for treating depression. However, the mechanisms underlying the antidepressant effects of ECT remain unknown. Depressed patients exhibit abnormal Ca2+ kinetics.

The relation between electroconvulsive therapy and dopamine [PDF]
Introduction The use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) as a treatment for psychotic disorders is well-documented and effective. Despite the fact that ECT is often used, the precise neurobiological mechanisms supporting its effectiveness are still ...

Metabolic profiling of dividing cells in live rodent brain by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1HMRS) and LCModel analysis. [PDF]
Dividing cells can be detected in the live brain by positron emission tomography or optical imaging. Here we apply proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1HMRS) and a widely used spectral fitting algorithm to characterize the effect of increased ...

Electroconvulsive shock and the response: ECS interval [PDF]
It was attempted to determine whether the decrement in retention produced by ECS was a function of the response-EC S interval or the location of the interpolated ECS in the trial-test trial interval. It was hypothesized that when ECS is in close temporal relationship to a response, whether it is original learning or a test trial, a decrement in ...
