Transcriptional profiling of antidepressant ketamine and electroconvulsive therapy treatment

medRxiv July 29, 2025 Artemis Zavaliangos-Petropulu, Ginny Ghang, Toni Boltz et al. preprint

Background: Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) affects 30-50% of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and sub-anesthetic ketamine treatment can relieve TRD, yet their antidepressant mechanisms remain unclear. Peripheral blood gene expression offers a non-invasive proxy to examine potential treatment-response biomarkers. Methods: We conducted a...

Modulation of functional network co-activation pattern dynamics following ketamine treatment in major depression.

Imaging neuroscience (Cambridge, Mass.) 2025 Brandon Taraku, Jason S Nomi, Artemis Zavaliangos-Petropulu et al.

Ketamine produces fast-acting antidepressant effects in treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Prior studies have shown altered functional dynamics between brain networks in major depression. We thus sought to determine whether functional brain network dynamics are modulated by ketamine therapy in TRD. Participants with TRD (n = 58, mean age = 40.7 years, female = 48.3%) completed resting-state...
