abstract = {A growing number of recent studies has suggested that the
neuroplastic effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
might be prominent enough to be detected through changes of
regional gray matter volumes (GMV) during the course of the
treatment. Given that ECT patients are difficult to recruit
for imaging studies, most publications, however, report only
on small samples. Addressing this challenge, we here report
results of a structural imaging study on ECT patients that
pooled patients from five German sites. Whole-brain
voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis was performed to
detect structural differences in 85 patients with unipolar
depression before and after ECT, when compared to 86 healthy
controls. Both task-independent and task-dependent
physiological whole-brain functional connectivity patterns
of these regions were modeled using additional data from
healthy subjects. All emerging regions were additionally
functionally characterized using the BrainMap database. Our
VBM analysis detected a significant increase of GMV in the
right hippocampus/amygdala region in patients after ECT
compared to healthy controls. In healthy subjects this
region was found to be enrolled in a network associated with
emotional processing and memory. A region in the left
fusiform gyrus was additionally found to have higher GMV in
controls when compared with patients at baseline. This
region showed minor changes after ECT. Our data points to a
GMV increase in patients post ECT in regions that seem to
constitute a hub of an emotion processing network. This
appears as a plausible antidepressant mechanism and could
explain the efficacy of ECT not only in the treatment of
unipolar depression, but also of affective symptoms across
heterogeneous disorders.},
