Laroy M, Bouckaert F, Vansteelandt K, et al. - Researchers examined the value of hippocampal volume change following electroconvulsive therapy for predicting the change in memory performance 6 months after the end of the electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) treatment. Eighty-eight patients with late-life depression were assessed for hippocampal volume (HV) measures using high-resolution 3D T1-weighted images, within 1 week before and after ECT. Outcomes revealed less improvement in memory performance up to 6 months post ECT in correlation with a larger absolute change in right HV during ECT.
