Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Major Depressive Disorder and Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: Recent studies specifically on the role of human adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) in MDD and AD are discussed, with different studies implicating therole of human AHN as a potential converging mechanism in MDd and AD.

Takahiro Soda, +64 more
TL;DR: The Genetics of ECT International Consortium (Gen-ECT-ic) will organize the largest clinical and genetic collection to date to study the genomics of severe depressive disorders and response to ECT, aiming for 30,000 patients worldwide using a GWAS approach.

Breathing Rhythm and Pattern and Their Influence on Emotion.

TL;DR: This review focuses on selected advances in the understanding of the breathing central pattern generator, which drives inspiratory rhythm via an unexpectedly sophisticated emergent mechanism in the preBötzinger complex.

Application of transcranial magnetic stimulation for major depression: Coil design and neuroanatomical variability considerations

TL;DR: Post-marketing data suggest that both coils have a similar safety profile in clinical practice, whereas effect size comparisons of the two respective FDA pivotal trials suggests that the H1 coil may have an advantage in efficacy.

Efficacy and safety of electroconvulsive therapy in depressive disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: A systematic overview and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials and observational studies for the efficacy and safety of electroconvulsive therapy with simulated ECT, ECT versus pharmacotherapy, and different forms of ECT for patients with depressive illness found ECT is an effective short-term treatment for depression.

A prospective, randomized, double-blind comparison of bilateral and right unilateral electroconvulsive therapy at different stimulus intensities.

TL;DR: Right unilateral ECT at high dosage is as effective as a robust form of BL ECT, but produces less severe and persistent cognitive effects.

Objective Cognitive Performance Associated with Electroconvulsive Therapy for Depression: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: Cognitive abnormalities associated with ECT are mainly limited to the first 3 days posttreatment, and Pretreatment functioning levels are subsequently recovered.

GABA and glutamate in the human brain.

TL;DR: GA synthesis is unique among neurotransmitters, having two separate isoforms of the rate-controlling enzyme, glutamic acid decarboxylase and the need for two separate genes on two chromosomes to control GABA synthesis is unexplained.
