Although recent structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have consistently reported ECT-induced hippocampal volume increases, most studies did not find the association of the hippocampal volume changes with clinical improvement. To understand the underlying mechanisms of ECT action, we aimed to identify the longitudinal effects of ECT on hippocampal functional connectivity (FC) and their associations with clinical improvement.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291720001518_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Resting-state functional MRI was acquired before and after bilateral ECT in 27 depressed individuals. <jats:italic>A priori<\/jats:italic> hippocampal seed-based FC analysis and a data-driven multivoxel pattern analysis (MVPA) were conducted to investigate FC changes associated with clinical improvement.
