Esketamine's Role in Treatment-Resistant Depression
Clinicians are turning to esketamine for TRD and suicidal depression. Here's what patients need to know about access, cost, and how it compares to IV ketamine.
Ketamine for Tinnitus: Current Research and Mechanisms
An overview of the emerging research on ketamine as a potential treatment for tinnitus, including the glutamatergic theory of tinnitus, clinical evidence, and important limitations.
Glutamatergic System: The Excitatory Signaling Network Behind Ketamine's Effects
An overview of the glutamatergic system — the brain's primary excitatory neurotransmitter network — and its central role in how ketamine produces rapid antidepressant effects.
How Ketamine Works in the Brain: A Complete Neuroscience Guide
An in-depth exploration of ketamine's mechanism of action at the molecular, cellular, and network levels — from NMDA receptor blockade and the glutamate surge to BDNF-driven synaptogenesis and default mode network modulation.
How Ketamine Works: Science FAQ
Answers to frequently asked questions about ketamine's mechanism of action, how it differs from other treatments, and the science behind its antidepressant effects.
