The aim of this trial was to assess the changes in cortical excitability in the brain of a patient with remitted schizophrenia, undergoing maintenance ECT. Three successive ECT applications resulted in significant prolongation of the cortical silent period, which implies augmentation of inhibitory cortical mechanisms in the brain, most likely mediated by the GABAergic (GABA, gamma-aminobutyric acid) system with direct involvement of GABA(B) receptors. The actual therapeutic effect of ECT is therefore probably due to facilitation of cortical inhibitory mechanisms induced by GABAergic neurotransmission." .
