Neuroplasticity and Ketamine

Understanding neuroplasticity reveals how our brains can change and adapt. Ketamine plays a crucial role by blocking the NMDA receptor, which paradoxically promotes neuroplastic changes that can improve mood and provide lasting relief from depression. These effects, while immediate, lead to longer-term benefits through the rewiring of neural circuits over time.
