Depression Relief in Hours: Scientists Decode the Hidden Path of Ketamine’s Antidepressant Magic

Researchers have discovered how low doses of ketamine target specific sites on NMDA receptors to rapidly alleviate depression. This binding explains ketamine’s fast-acting and long-lasting antidepressant effects, different from its anesthetic uses at higher doses. The study, involving detailed molecular simulations, paves the way for developing new, potentially non-addictive antidepressants. Groundbreaking Ketamine Research Neuroscientists at [...]
