Ketamine: Neuroprotective or Neurotoxic?

Frontiers in Neuroscience September 10, 2021 Divya Choudhury, Anita E. Autry, K. Tolias et al. 75 citations

Ketamine, a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist, has been employed clinically as an intravenous anesthetic since the 1970s. More recently, ketamine has received attention for its rapid antidepressant effects and is actively being explored as a treatment for a wide range of neuropsychiatric syndromes.

On the mind/body problem

The Journal of near-death studies 1994 V. Krishnan, J. Kenneth Arnette

J.

Near-death experiences: Evidence for survival

Journal of Near-Death Studies 1985 V. Krishnan

Abstract: "This paper argues that the out-of-body experience (OBE) and other elements of a near-death experience (NDE), as well as the positive affects that accompany them, do not yeild conclusive evidence for survival after death. The OBE has features that suggest a physical basis for it, the other elements show the influence of cultural background, and positive affects may simply occur to...
