Blood-brain barrier permeability and electroconvulsive therapy - a systematic review

CONCLUSION: Animal but not human studies support increased BBB permeability to some smaller molecules after electrically induced seizures. However, this conclusion is confined by the low number of studies and the lack of studies applying state-of-the art methods. More studies using modern approaches to measuring of BBB permeability are warranted.PMID:37842858 | DOI:10.1017/neu.2023.48
