There have been more than a lot of ground breaking studies on the benefits of Ketamine lately. So much so that the FDA hastened it’s approval process.

HOW KETAMINE TREATMENT EFFECTS THE HUMAN BRAIN

HOW KETAMINE FIGHTS DEPRESSION

Ketamine treatment relieves depression by blocking NMDA, which is a glutamate receptor. Well what is Glutamate? It is a excitatory neurotransmitter. This means that it makes neurons more active and likely to form new connections in the brain. Initially, it was thought that blocking NMDA would make the brain less active and make depression worse. On the contrary, studies have shown that this causes a reaction that strengthens the brain. This was stated by Dr. Nathalie Picard PhD in a recent study.

HOW KETAMINE TREATMENT EFFECTS THE BRAIN?

THE BRAIN AWAKENED

How does Ketamine treatment effect the brain? Studies showed that neurons in the cerebral cortex of the human brain fired more rapidly while being served a Ketamine treatment.  This all has to do with a special type of neuron called Parvalbumin. Parvalbumin neurons are inhibitory in nature. Their main job is to slow down activity in the human brain. They activate when Glutimate is present. By blocking Glutimate, you guessed it, this process is bypassed and brain activity is subsequently increased. Once the brain is more responsive to sensory input, a patient is able to be lifted out of their state of depression.
