How Ketamine Works in the Brain
An in-depth look at ketamine's mechanism of action — NMDA receptor antagonism, glutamate signaling, BDNF release, and the promotion of neuroplasticity.
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.
Synaptogenesis: How Ketamine Promotes New Synaptic Connections
A definition of synaptogenesis — the formation of new synapses — and an explanation of how ketamine rapidly triggers this process to produce antidepressant effects.
Neuroplasticity
What neuroplasticity means, how the brain rewires itself, and why neuroplasticity is central to understanding ketamine's rapid antidepressant effects.
BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor): Definition and Role in Ketamine Therapy
Learn what BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) is, how it supports brain health, and why it is central to ketamine's rapid antidepressant mechanism.
AMPA Receptor: Its Role in Ketamine's Antidepressant Effect
A glossary entry on the AMPA receptor, explaining what it is, how it functions, and why its activation is essential to ketamine's rapid antidepressant mechanism.
