Ketamine produces rapid antidepressant effects accompanied by marked changes in fast brain rhythms. High-frequency oscillations (HFO; 130-180 Hz) are an increasingly recognized signature of ketamine across species. However, their relationship to classical gamma activity and their circuit-level organization remain unclear. Using simultaneous multiregion recordings in freely moving male Wistar...
Subanesthetic doses of ketamine produce complex neuropsychiatric effects, which include rapid psychotomimetic symptoms and antidepressant effects that can last several weeks. Despite over 60 years of research, the mechanism(s) of action underlying ketamine's effects in the brain remains largely mysterious. Neurophysiological field potential recordings provide a direct window into brain...
