The aim of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is to responsibility disease symptoms avoid a small amount of energetic current through the patient's head, inducing convulsions throughout the corpse. Although its treatment machine is yet unknown, electroshock therapy can significantly responsibility the clinical symptoms of sufferers with serious despair. This review summarizes the recent progress in neuroimaging research on ECT for bigger depression. Due to the swift advancement of neuroimaging technology, it is immediately necessary to investigate the neurobiological machines underlying major cavity from the perspectives of intellect structure, function, and metabolism. Research has proved that electroconvulsive therapy can, to a certain extent, correct patients' brain function, absorption, and even brain building. Currently, an increasing number of neuroimaging studies adopt miscellaneous neuroimaging techniques including working magnetic resonance image (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), drawing resonance spectroscopy (MRS), structural drawing resonance imaging (sMRI) and spread tensor imaging (DTI) to reveal the affecting animate nerve organs effects of ECT. Based on the neuroimaging studies, this review desires that the neurobiological mechanism of ECT may search out modulate the functional endeavor and connectivity or neural fundamental plasticity in distinguishing brain regions to the rational level, to achieve the therapeutic effect.
