Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), ketamine infusion (KI), and total sleep deprivation (TSD) are effective and fast in treating patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). However, it remains unclear whether the three treatments have the same effect on clinical symptom improvement and have common brain structural mechanisms. The current study included 127 TRD patients and 37 healthy...
Hemodynamic fluctuations in the default mode network (DMN), observed through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), have been linked to electrophysiological oscillations detected by electroencephalography (EEG). It has been reported that, among the electrophysiological oscillations, those in the alpha frequency range (8–13 Hz) are the most dominant during resting state. We hypothesized...
Electrophysiological studies revealed that different neuronal oscillations, among which the alpha (8-13 Hz) rhythm in particular, but also the beta (13-30 Hz) and gamma (30-80 Hz) rhythms, are modulated during rest in the default mode network (DMN). Little is known, however, about the role of these rhythms in supporting DMN connectivity. Biophysical studies suggest that lower and higher...
