Biological heterogeneity of major depressive disorder: indications by sleep EEG and TRH stimulation test findings.

abstract：:This study was conducted to elucidate the effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on frontal white matter in late-life depressed patients. Diffusion tensor imaging was performed on 8 late-life depressed patients and 12 healthy age-matched controls. The patients were scanned before and after a course of ECT. Fractio...
