Improvement of persistent impairments in executive functions and attention following electroconvulsive therapy in a case control longitudinal follow up study by Åsa Hammar, Eivind Haga Ronold, Malene Alden Spurkeland, Rita Ueland, Ute Kessler, Ketil J. Oedegaard, Leif Oltedal

“…The development and etiology of neurocognitive impairment in MDD were examined by investigating the cognitive profile following ECT related to the state, scar, and trait perspectives, with the former predicting improvements parallel with depressive symptoms, while the two latter expected persisting impairments. Executive functions (EF) and attention are central to cognition and alterations in these functions could influence other domains like memory. …”
