Neuroimaging study sheds light on ketamine’s impact on brain connectivity in depression

In a new neuroimaging study, researchers have uncovered new insights into how depression affects the brain and how ketamine, a rapid-acting antidepressant, alters these effects. The study, published in theJournal of Affective Disorders, revealed significant changes in brain connectivity associated with depression, which were notably altered following ketamine treatment. These findings hold promise for better understanding and treating depression, a condition that affects millions worldwide. Depression, a widespread mental health issue, remains poorly understood despite extensive research. Trad...
