Changes in biofield measures and experienced states during meditation and breathwork practices: an uncontrolled feasibility study

Frontiers in Psychology February 25, 2026 Natalie L. Dyer, Meredith Sprengel, Ivo V. Stuldreher et al.

Background: The human body radiates multiple biological fields which can be measured with sensors directly on or off the body. These electromagnetic fields are hypothesized to be altered by mind and body practices. The primary goal of the current study was to evaluate the feasibility of continuous multi-sensor monitoring during meditation and breathwork practices. It also explored methods to...

Microglial BDNF modulates arketamine's antidepressant-like effects through cortico-accumbal pathways.

Science Advances July 11, 2025 Lujuan He, Xuenan Wang, Shilin Luo et al. 8 citations

Arketamine, the (R)-enantiomer of (R,S)-ketamine, shows even greater rapid and sustained antidepressant-like effects in rodent models compared to esketamine, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we used the chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) model to investigate how arketamine exerts its antidepressant-like effects. We found that activating cAMP response element-binding...

Ketamine exerts its sustained antidepressant effects via cell-type-specific regulation of Kcnq2.

Neuron May 1, 2022 J. Lopez, M. Lücken, E. Brivio et al. 78 citations

A single sub-anesthetic dose of ketamine produces a rapid and sustained antidepressant response, yet the molecular mechanisms responsible for this remain unclear. Here, we identified cell-type-specific transcriptional signatures associated with a sustained ketamine response in mice. Most interestingly, we identified the Kcnq2 gene as an important downstream regulator of ketamine action in...
