Electroconvulsive seizure-induced expression change in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus in mice as an index of the neuronal responsiveness in vivo.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus is one of major targets for antidepressant treatments. Using electroconvulsive stimulation (ECS), a model of highly effective and fast-acting antidepressant therapy, here we show that neural stimulation via ECS induces rapid and lasting dematuration of granule neurons in DG. A single time of stimulation transiently reduced mature marker expression and mature synaptic functions. Repetitive stimulation converted this transient dematuration into a stable form lasting more than 1 month. We compared the activity-dependent neuronal responsiveness in the DG between a single ECS and repeated ECS.
