| Popis: | Nuclear magnetic resonance images of the brain were obtained in fourteen patients with major depression during a course of ECT. The T1, relaxation time rose immediately after the fit reaching a maximum 4–6 h later. The T1, values then returned to their original level; no long-term increase occurred over the course of treatment. These results are consistent with an extensive but temporary breakdown of the blood-brain barrier during ECT. |
