| Research Abstract |
The exact mechanisms underlying the actions of physiological antidepressant treatment (electroconvulsive therapy) are not yet understood. To identify the gene expression changes by antidepressant treatments in the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVN), microarray analysis was performed. I identified several genes as differentially regulated in PVN by electroconvulsive therapy. Although the involvement of the identified gene products in antidepressant effects still remains unknown, some of down-regulated genes, such as protein kinase C and neuropeptide Y, have been reported their relevance to psychological disorders.
