ECT Reprograms Adult Neurons into a Youthful State

Report on how patterned electroconvulsive-like stimulation drives mature neurons into a durable, highly plastic youthful state and altered coding patterns.

Key Takeaways
  • Widespread genome-wide chromatin mapping confirmed long-lasting structural changes in chromatin accessibility
  • Mice engineered to lack Cyclin B (the core molecular key required to cross the G2/M phase boundary)
  • Neuroscience News Mice subjected to REPOPS showed increased locomotor activity and reduced depression-like behavior
