Exploring the effects of erythropoietin treatment on cortical thickness and hippocampal volume in patients with mood disorders undergoing electroconvulsive therapy: A randomized, placebo-controlled trial
EPO treatment may produce a selective increase in the right-side occipito-parietal cortical thickness. In contrast, the thickness of other cognition-relevant structures was not significantly affected. This aligns with our previously reported finding that EPO has a selective effect on autobiographical memory and associated right-side parietal activity in the absence of changes in global cognition. It remains to be investigated whether longer EPO treatment and follow-up assessment may be necessary for overt structural changes in cognition-relevant brain networks.
