| 2 | Effect of escitalopram on cognitive function in depressionA mismatch negativity potentials study显示文摘We detected the event-related potential mismatch negativity (MMN) of 30 depression patients and compared to 30 age,gender,and education-matched healthy controls.Results showed that amplitudes of frequency and duration MMN were lower in depression patients compared with control patients,indicating abnormality in auditory processing (i.e.,cognitive impairment).Following escitalopram treatment for 8 weeks,the amplitudes of frequency and duration MMN were significantly increased and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression scores were significantly decreased in depression patients.These data suggest that escitalopram can improve cognitive function of patients with depression.Further,MMN may be a useful tool for evaluating cognitive function and treatment effects. | Zhenhe Zhou Guozhen Yuan Jianjun Yao Zaohuo Cheng | 2011 | Neural Regeneration Research2011，6，31： | 0 |
