Moreover, functional connectivity during the empathy task between areas associated with affective (anterior insula) and cognitive (precuneus) empathy decreased between sessions in the MDD group. Neither cognitiv
Learn about bipolar disorder, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and catatonia. Discover its symptoms, treatment, and what causes catatonic depression.
The rat strain failing to escape when exposed to electrical footshocks (negative cognitive (NC) state strain) reflects the cognitive dysfunction characteristic for depressive behavior16, models treatment-resistant depression15 and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)17. The term “NC state strain” ...
Resistance to antidepressant drug treatment remains a major health problem. Animal models of depression are efficient in detecting effective treatments but have done little to increase the reach of antidepressant drugs. This may be because most animal models of depression target the reversal of stress-...
Treatment-resistant depression The current standard care for MDD is pharmacological treatment with the administration of ADs such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), selective norepinephrine or dopamine reuptake inhibitors. However, these treatments have some limitations as they do not induce...
One limitation of the present study is that our protocol cannot completely simulate clinical treatment, where DBS therapy delivers continuous electrical stimulation through a pulse generator implanted in the body. In the present study, DBS is administered by a handheld device for 2 h per day. There...
lithium-chloride treatment can suppress this depression-like state in flies. The behavioural changes correlate with reduced serotonin (5-HT) release at the mushroom body (MB) and can be relieved by feeding the antidepressant 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan or sucrose, which results in elevated 5-HT levels...
However, again the temptation to over-anthropomorphize should be avoided. As with the mouse depression models, the most important facet of these tasks as tests for assessing anxiety-like behaviour is their predictive validity; that is, avoidance behaviours are reduced by treatment with clinically ef...
The use of 1-[2-(2,4-dimethylphenylsulfanyl)phenyl]piperazine in the treatment of pain and residual symptoms in depression is provided. <inline-img he="42.
Cardioversion shocks are generally considered to be of low to moderate energy level (so as to minimize pain felt by the patient), and/or synchronized with an R-wave and/or pertaining to the treatment of tachycardia. Defibrillation shocks are generally of moderate to high energy level (i.e.,...
