Although electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an efficient treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD), however, it also brings memory impairment. The insula is a critical brain structure for coordinating affective, cognitive memory, saliency processing, and attention switching suggesting functional activity of insula maybe an important indicator to delineate the treatment and side effects of ECT.
