Antidepresanlara ve diğer ilaçlara yanıt vermemiş komorbid majör depresyonu olan BKB hastalarında nöromodülasyonu değerlendirin. Sistematik derleme kanıtları bu vakalarda tamamlayıcı bir rolü desteklemektedir. BKB'de ketamin kullanırken, dezinhibe davranışlar ve artmış intihar düşüncesi açısından dikkatle izleyin. Olgu sunumları her ikisini de olumsuz reaksiyon olarak belgelemiştir. MDMA...

Background: Ketamine, a high-affinity NMDA receptor antagonist, is used off-label for neuropathic pain but has limited clinical utility due to poor oral bioavailability, narrow therapeutic window, and dissociative effects. Ketamir-2 is a novel low-affinity, phencyclidine-site-selective NMDA antagonist (IC50 ~100 µM versus ketamine's low single-digit µM), designed to retain analgesic activity...

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a highly debilitating and often chronic condition. A large percentage of patients do not respond to first-line treatments with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), underscoring the need for novel therapeutic approaches. In this context, promising innovative treatments have recently emerged for OCD; these...

This paper explains acute‑state dissociation through a bottom‑up neurobiological lens, showing how trauma conditioning, salience misrouting, and memory‑encoding shutdown create states where individuals appear responsive while evaluative and reflective systems are offline. It integrates research on autobiographical memory, substance‑induced impairment, and consent vulnerability to clarify how...

Background: The past few decades have seen a revived interest in psychedelic-assisted and ketamine-assisted therapy for mental health disorders, but data concerning the acute, subacute, and long-term effects of serotonergic psychedelics on cognitive functioning are scarce. This international, online study (N = 759) sought to investigate the potential acute, subacute, and long-term effects of...

Abstract Depression and anxiety affect one in five adults and vary across the lifespan; while prevalence generally declines with age until midlife, later life is marked by a re-emergence of symptoms. Although clinical trials suggest classic psychedelics (e.g., psilocybin, LSD) and non-classic psychedelics (e.g., MDMA, ketamine) may alleviate these symptoms, it remains unclear how these...

Thalamofrontal (TF) dysconnectivity is one of the most consistent circuit-level abnormalities reported in patients with schizophrenia and is linked to deficits in short-term memory (STM). However, the biological mechanisms underlying TF weakening remain unclear. Here, we show that repeated adolescent N -methyl- d -aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonism produces STM deficits by impairing TF...

Introduction and objective: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a heterogeneous psychiatric condition characterized by affective, cognitive and somatic symptoms that considerably impair daily functioning. It is defined clinically by prolonged low mood, diminished interest or pleasure, and a range of associated disturbances, including changes in cognitive skills, appetite, and sleep patterns....

Formerly recognized as an opioid receptor, the sigma-1 receptor (σ1R) is a multifunctional chaperone protein that plays a crucial role in regulating neuronal signaling, neuroprotection, and synaptic plasticity. Increasing evidence highlights a tight functional association between the σ1R and the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), a central mediator of excitatory neurotransmission and...

The ratio R = E/|O_info| - spectral energy per unit of integrated informational structure - was proposed as a candidate outcome observable of the thermodynamics of consciousness: an energetic cost per nat of integration. We report its complete empirical genealogy across eight pre-registered studies in public datasets (Sleep-EDF, 153 nights, N=76/77; DOSE-I propofol, N=170; 62-channel ketamine,...
