Charles-Yoland Desfossés

Charles-Yoland Desfossés, MD, is a clinical neuroscience researcher affiliated with a Quebec government health institution in Quebec City, Canada, as evidenced by his official email domain and mailing address. His work operates at the intersection of clinical psychiatry and neurobiological mechanisms.

His research program focuses on elucidating biological pathways in depression treatment, with particular emphasis on:

• Mechanisms underlying ketamine's rapid antidepressant effects
• Inflammatory biomarker dynamics during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
• Clinical correlations between neuroinflammatory responses and symptom remission

Dr. Desfossés investigates how neuromodulatory treatments alter neurobiological processes to achieve therapeutic outcomes in mood disorders, bridging laboratory findings with clinical psychiatry practice.
