PMID: 33197507 The abstract is copied below: And from the text: [Of the 34 articles]...the resting-state fMRI metrics employed included: seed-based resting-state functional connectivity (n=17), resting-state network connectivity (n=10), ReHo (n=3), ALFF (n=4), and fALFF (n=5). Moreover, regarding the number of results per metric, resting-state functional connectivity studies seem to capture more ECT-related changes than task-based and/or resting-state activity. Although this finding may be partially accounted for the fact that resting-state connectivity (across 2 different metrics) was more frequen...
