    • Adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. A brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy study 

      Dramsdahl, Margaretha; Ersland, Lars; Plessen, Kerstin von; Haavik, Jan; Hugdahl, Kenneth; Specht, Karsten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-11-23)
      Background: Impaired cognitive control in individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be related to a prefrontal cortical glutamatergic deficit. We assessed the glutamate level in the left and the ...

    • Anterior cingulate gamma-aminobutyric acid concentrations and electroconvulsive therapy 

      Erchinger, Vera Jane; Miller, Jeremy; Jones, Thomas; Kessler, Ute; Bustillo, Juan R.; Haavik, Jan; Petrillo, Jonathan; Ziomek, Gregory; Hammar, Åsa; Ødegaard, Ketil Joachim; Calhoun, Vince D.; McClintock, Shawn M.; Ersland, Lars; Oltedal, Leif; Abbott, Christopher (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-17)
      Objective The anticonvulsant hypothesis posits that ECT’s mechanism of action is related to enhancement of endogenous anticonvulsant brain mechanisms. Results of prior studies investigating the role of the inhibitory ...

    • “Brain MR spectroscopy in autism spectrum disorder—the GABA excitatory/inhibitory imbalance theory revisited” 

      Brix, Maiken Kirkegaard; Ersland, Lars; Hugdahl, Kenneth; Grüner, Renate; Posserud, Maj-Britt; Hammar, Åse; Craven, Alexander R.; Noeske, Ralph; Evans, C. John; Walker, Hanne B.; Midtvedt, Tore; Beyer, Mona K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-22)
      Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) from voxels placed in the left anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) was measured from 14 boys with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and 24 gender and age-matched typically developing (TD) ...

    • Default-mode network functional connectivity is closely related to metabolic activity 

      Passow, Susanne; Specht, Karsten; Adamsen, Tom Christian; Biermann, Martin; Brekke, Njål; Craven, Alexander R.; Ersland, Lars; Grüner, Renate; Kleven-Madsen, Nina; Kvernenes, Ole Heine; Schwarzlmüller, Thomas; Olesen, Rasmus Aamand; Hugdahl, Kenneth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06)
      Over the last decade, the brain's default-mode network (DMN) and its function has attracted a lot of attention in the field of neuroscience. However, the exact underlying mechanisms of DMN functional connectivity, or more ...

    • Dynamic switching between intrinsic and extrinsic mode networks as demands change from passive to active processing 

      Riemer, Frank; Gruner, Eli Renate; Beresniewicz, Justyna; Kazimierczak, Katarzyna Anna; Ersland, Lars; Hugdahl, Kenneth (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-08)
      In this study we report on the relationship between default and extrinsic mode networks across alternating brief periods of rest and active task processing. Three different visual tasks were used in a classic fMRI ON–OFF ...

    • Effects of ECT in treatment of depression: Study protocol for a prospective neuroradiological study of acute and longitudinal effects on brain structure and function 

      Oltedal, Leif; Kessler, Ute; Ersland, Lars; Grüner, Renate; Andreassen, Ole Andreas; Haavik, Jan; Hoff, Per Ivar; Hammar, Åsa; Dale, Anders Martin; Hugdahl, Kenneth; Ødegaard, Ketil Joachim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05-01)
      Background Major depression can be a serious and debilitating condition. For some patients in a treatment resistant depressive episode, electroconvulsive treatment (ECT) is the only treatment that is effective. Although ...

    • Electroconvulsive therapy triggers a reversible decrease in brain N-acetylaspartate 

      Erchinger, Vera Jane; Craven, Alexander R.; Ersland, Lars; Oedegaard, Ketil J.; Bartz-Johannessen, Christoffer; Hammar, Åsa Karin; Haavik, Jan; Riemer, Frank; Kessler, Ute; Oltedal, Leif (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Introduction: Based on previous research on electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) we have proposed a model where disruption, potentiation, and rewiring of brain networks occur in sequence and serve as the underlying therapeutic ...

    • Hallucinating schizophrenia patients have longer left arcuate fasciculus fiber tracks: a DTI tractography study 

      Falkenberg, Liv E.; Westerhausen, René; Johnsen, Erik; Kroken, Rune Andreas; Løberg, Else-Marie; Beresniewicz, Justyna; Kazimierczak, Katarzyna Anna; Kompus, Kristiina; Ersland, Lars; Sandøy, Lydia Brunvoll; Hugdahl, Kenneth (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The arcuate fasciculus (AF) has been implicated in the pathology behind schizophrenia and auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs). White matter tracts forming the arcuate fasciculus can be quantified and visualized using ...

    • Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Depressed Subjects Treated With Electroconvulsive Therapy—A Systematic Review of Literature 

      Erchinger, Vera Jane; Ersland, Lars; Aukland, Stein Magnus; Abbott, Christopher; Oltedal, Leif (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is considered to be the most effective acute treatment for otherwise treatment resistant major depressive episodes, and has been used for over 80 years. Still, the underlying mechanism of ...
