A new study in mice on ECT and Alzheimer's protein
ECT, or electroconvulsive therapy, is an effective treatment for severely depressed patients. However, many patients are worried about side effects, especially long-term memory difficulties. Researchers at Lund University have investigated whether ECT affects the levels of the Alzheimer's-related protein beta-amyloid in the mouse brain. The article was published in the journal Scientific Reports.
