My FIRST ever first-author paper is now out as a preprint on @medrxivpreprint! Using spectral parameterization (@tomdonoghue), we have identified a potential neural mechanism behind ECT, one of the most efficacious treatments for depression. doi.org/10.1101/2022.0… A thread:

If we want reliable EEG biomarkers, we need analytical tools that are both precise and physiologically specific. Otherwise, we’re not measuring the elephant—we're guessing at it.

I'm thrilled to share that my brilliant coauthors and I have published two papers in @Transl_Psych! Our findings help illuminate the mechanism behind two powerful treatments for depression.

Out now in @Transl_Psych/@NaturePortfolio: For a century, scientists have wondered why #Electroconvulsive therapy works so well against #Depression. @UCSanDiego researchers are beginning to solve the mystery #Neuroscience #Psychiatry 🧠 Learn how: go.ucsd.edu/3R1NbWT

So excited to announce this new paper with my co-first authors @eena_kosik and fellow labbie Quirine van Engen. This project is a replication and extension of my previous study showing increases in frontal aperiodic activity with ECT treatment for depression. Check it out!
Eena Kosik-Rose@eena_kosik

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and magnetic seizure therapy (MST) are hugely effective treatments for depression! Have you wondered how these treatments work? Find out the shared neural mechanisms in our new preprint @saydnay @itayhadas @a_t_hill @ReZaZOM doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

Neuroplasticity is everything. It is how we learn and acquire skills, but also at the root of many psychiatric disorders. Excited to share our new review on the neuroplasticity of mental health authored with @Zafirisj, @StolzLouise, & Ali Shenasa nature.com/articles/s4138…
