Neurogenic and angiogenic actions of electroconvulsive seizures in adult rat brain (2005)

Hellsten, Johan

In the current thesis, the neurogenic and angiogenic response to electroconvulsive seizure (ECS)-treatment was investigated in the adult rat brain. ECS-treatment is an animal model for the...

Electroconvulsive seizures increase hippocampal neurogenesis after chronic corticosterone treatment. (2002)

Hellsten, Johan, Wennström, Malin, Mohapel, Paul, Ekdahl, Christine T, Bengzon, Johan, Tingström, Anders

Major depression is often associated with elevated glucocorticoid levels. High levels of glucocorticoids reduce neurogenesis in the adult rat hippocampus. Electroconvulsive seizures (ECS) can enhance...
