Coronary heart disease (CHD) often coexists with mood disorders (MDs), but research on comorbidity predictors and interventions remains limited. This two‑phase mixed‑methods study enrolled 390 CHD patients diagnosed by coronary angiography. Mood disorders were screened using the HAMD (≥7) and confirmed via DSM‑5 psychiatric evaluation. In the observational phase, 219 CHD patients with MDs and...

-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) blockade is crucial for the rapid antidepressant effects of ketamine, the involvement of other mechanisms remains contentious, particularly regarding the role of serotonin, a key neurotransmitter in the target of traditional antidepressants. Here, we demonstrate that ketamine elevates serotonin levels by inhibiting the serotonin transporter (SERT). A...

Dissociation, characterized by altered consciousness and perception, underlies multiple mental disorders, but the specific neuronal subtypes involved remain elusive. In mice, we find that dissociation-inducing doses of ketamine significantly inhibit retrosplenial cortex (RSC) parvalbumin interneurons (PV-INs), enhancing delta oscillations (1-3 Hz) and delta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling (δ-γ...

Ketamine (KET) and isoflurane (ISO) are two widely used general anesthetics, yet their distinct and shared neurophysiological mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the effects of KET and ISO on c-Fos expression across the mouse brain, utilizing hierarchical clustering and c-Fos-based functional network analysis to evaluate the responses of individual...
