Effects of Esketamine on EEG temporal dynamics in patients with depression

UNC Libraries June 21, 2026 Verina Guirguis

Esketamine is an effective rapid-acting pharmacological intervention for treatment-resistant depression. However, the temporal dynamics of underlying brain networks associated with the improvement of depressive symptoms remain elusive. This observational study seeks to delineate alteration in network activity within 90 minutes of nasal Esketamine administration, with a focus on exploring its...

Esketamine disinhibits brain networks in depression: Evidence from oscillatory and aperiodic activity.

Progress in neuro-psychopharmacology & biological psychiatry July 5, 2025 Verina Guirguis, Sanvi Korsapathy, Francesca Pupillo et al. 6 citations

Nasal Esketamine is a rapid-acting intervention for depression, hypothesized to exert its effects through cortical disinhibition. However, the spatio-temporal dynamics of brain network activity and their relationship to the subjective drug experience following Esketamine administration remain elusive. This observational study aims to delineate brain network-level effects of Esketamine by...
