Abstract Purpose: Delusional ideation, defined as false beliefs and altered thinking, has long been attributed to anomalous/bizarre perceptual experiences and reasoning deficits.

This study investigated associations...

Ketamine also stimulates the limbic system, inducing hallucinations and dissociative effects. At sub-anesthetic doses, ketamine also displays hallucinatory and dissociative properties, but not loss of...
