Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been confirmed as one of the most effective treatments in drug-resistant major depression. However, the mechanism of ECT is still poorly understood. Although several lines of studies have focused on its effect on dopamine neurotransmission, the effects of ECT on dopamine D(2) receptors in a living human brain have not been investigated. Using positron emission tomography (PET) scans with the radioligand [(11)C]FLB 457, we aimed to evaluate the effect of ECT on extrastriatal D(2) receptor binding in medicated patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).
