Neuroplasticity and Ketamine
NMDA receptors play a pivotal role in neuroplasticity, detecting unusual brain activity and facilitating cellular changes. Ketamine, as an NMDA receptor antagonist, intriguingly promotes neuroplasticity, aiding in the transition from depression. The balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission is crucial, with disruptions potentially leading to conditions like epilepsy, characterized by excessive brain excitation.In this clip
