Schematic representation of time schedule and applied measures during SYNAPSE. At baseline, the psychometry battery, EEG and MRI measurements are taken. During and after a maximum of 13 ECT sessions (the first session will be without intervention; in the other 12 ECT sessions, the interventions are applied), intermittent ROT (interval: 5 min) and continuous EEG measures are recorded. Within 1 h after 3 ECT sessions, MRI will take place (one for each intervention). The psychometric measures, EEG, and MRI measurements will be repeated at follow-up within 2 weeks after completion of the ECT course and after 3 months. ROT, reorientation time. ASL, arterial spin labelling. PCM, paracetamol (acetaminophen). ND, nimodipine. NI, no intervention. EEG, electroencephalography. ECT, electroconvulsive therapy
