BlakeElectroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a technique used in the treatment of severe depression, involving passing electric currents through the brain to induce controlled seizures. While generally safe and effective, ECT can cause temporary memory loss and some neuronal damage, particularly if used in high doses or for an extended period.

Neuroscientists have studied its very large neurons?
Neuroscientists have studied the very large neurons in the brain, such as pyramidal neurons found in the cerebral cortex. These neurons play essential roles in functions like higher cognitive processes and motor control, making them a focus of research to understand brain functions better. By studying these neurons, researchers can gain insights into how information is processed and transmitted in the brain.
What type of technique is referred to as clamping?
The patch clamp technique is a laboratory technique in electrophysiology that allows the study of single or multiple ion channels in cells. The technique can be applied to a wide variety of cells, but is especially useful in the study of excitable cells such as neurons, cardiomyocytes, muscle fibers and pancreatic beta cells.
Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
What are neurons that carry information between sensory neurons and motor neurons?
Interneurons or association neurons.
What are the neurons that serve as links between sensory neurons and motor neurons?
interneuron
