Dissociation and Optogenetics
Ketamine and other dissociative drugs can induce states of dissociation, as demonstrated in both mice and humans. By using optogenetics, researchers can replicate these experiences in animals without drugs, revealing insights into brain activity and sensory perception. This groundbreaking work highlights the evolutionary similarities in brain function across species and underscores the importance of animal research in understanding human diseases.In this clip
