(R)-Ketamine Rapidly Ameliorates the Decreased Spine Density in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex and Hippocampus of Susceptible Mice After Chronic Social Defeat Stress. Ketamine demonstrates neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is hypothesized to be a key component to mental health recovery.
Zhang J, Qu Y, Chang L, Pu Y, Hashimoto K. (R)-Ketamine Rapidly Ameliorates the Decreased Spine Density in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex and Hippocampus of Susceptible Mice After Chronic Social Defeat Stress. Int J Neuropsychopharmacol. 2019 Oct 1;22(10):675-679. doi: 10.1093/ijnp/pyz048. PMID: 31504547; PMCID: PMC6822137.

Ketamine triggers a switch in excitatory neuronal activity across neocortex.
Cichon, J., Wasilczuk, A.Z., Looger, L.L. et al. Ketamine triggers a switch in excitatory neuronal activity across neocortex. Nat Neurosci (2022). Highlights: Ketamine reorganizes neuronal activity and switches on active circuits. In mice, this study demonstrates that ketamine causes spontaneously active neurons to become deactivated and reactivates prior spontaneously deactivated neurons. This switch occurs in […]
Ketamine normalizes subgenual cingulate cortex hyper-activity in depression.
Morris, L. S., Costi, S., Tan, A., Stern, E. R., Charney, D. S., & Murrough, J. W. (2020). Ketamine normalizes subgenual cingulate cortex hyper-activity in depression. Neuropsychopharmacology, 45(6), 975–981. Highlights: There was a significant improvement in MDD symptoms following a single-dose intravenous ketamine. Following a 40-minute infusion of ketamine at a dose of 0.5mg/kg, patients […]
