Predictors of responsiveness to ketamine: An updated systematic review of neuroimaging findings.

Journal of Affective Disorders July 15, 2026 Iman Kiani, Giulia Cattarinussi, Fabio Sambataro et al.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a leading cause of disability worldwide, with a significant portion of patients experiencing treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Ketamine, a rapid-acting antidepressant, has shown promise in alleviating symptoms of TRD and suicidality, but variability in treatment response remains a challenge. Identifying neuroimaging biomarkers that predict responsiveness...

Effect of ketamine on task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging findings in major depressive disorder: A mini-review.

Journal of Affective Disorders February 1, 2025 Farzaneh Ramezani, Peyman Mardani, Fatemeh Nemati et al. 4 citations

Over the last two decades, ketamine has gained significant interest in psychiatry as a potential treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD), especially in individuals who are resistant to traditional therapies or are at a high risk of suicide. Task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies can provide insight into how ketamine alters brain function and contributes to its...

Association between cannabis use and symptom dimensions in schizophrenia spectrum disorders: an individual participant data meta-analysis on 3053 individuals

EClinicalMedicine September 8, 2023 Mathilde Argote, Guillaume Sescousse, Jérôme Brunelin et al. 31 citations

Background: The association between cannabis use and positive symptoms in schizophrenia spectrum disorders is well documented, especially via meta-analyses. Yet, findings are inconsistent regarding negative symptoms, while other dimensions such as disorganization, depression, and excitement, have not been investigated. In addition, meta-analyses use aggregated data discarding important...

Brain Morphology of Cannabis Users With or Without Psychosis: A Pilot MRI Study

Journal of Visualized Experiments August 18, 2020 Giuseppe Delvecchio, Lucio Oldani, Gian Mario Mandolini et al. 3 citations

Cannabis is the illicit drug most commonly used worldwide, and its consumption can both induce psychiatric symptoms in otherwise healthy subjects and unmask a florid psychotic picture in patients with a prior psychotic risk. Previous studies suggest that chronic and long-term cannabis exposure may exert significant negative effects in brain areas enriched with cannabinoid receptors. However,...
