Ketamine is a unique drug that has psychedelic and anesthetic properties in a dose-dependent manner. Recent studies have shown that ketamine anesthesia appears to maintain the spatiotemporal complexity of cortical activation evoked by transcranial magnetic stimulation, while a psychedelic dose of ketamine is associated with increased spontaneous magnetoencephalographic signal diversity....

One of the main limitations of pharmacological fMRI is its inability to provide a molecular insight into the main effect of compounds, leaving an open question about the relationship between drug effects and haemodynamic response. The aim of this study is to investigate the acute effects of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) on functional connectivity (FC) using a novel multimodal method...

Inner experience and intrapersonal communication research in sport psychology has been largely dominated by a focus on self-talk, which has typically been examined using retrospective self-report measures. Although the existing self-talk literature has addressed aspects of athlete’s inner experience, attempts to extend the theoretical scope of intrapersonal communication in sport has been...

In this respect, place forms an essential basis for the unfolding of experiences in memory and imagination. The autobiographical memory is seen to contribute to a sense of self and place identity. The aim of this study was to concertedly analyze paintings, autobiographical...

The aims of this study were 3-fold. We wished to investigate whether at baseline entry to an ultra-high risk (UHR) clinic whether: (1) perceptual abnormalities are more prevalent in those young people with co-morbid psychiatric diagnoses, (2) perceptual abnormalities are more prevalent in those young people with histories of childhood adversity (childhood trauma, bullying) and (3) perceptual...

In contemporary debates about autism, "Theory of Mind" considers the main autistic features as a failure in meta-representation, making it impossible to understand the mental states of others. This article aims to carry out the critical study of the cognitive paradigm and to introduce the contributions of phenomenology. Researchers in this field hold that thoughts, emotions and intentions are...

About 20 to 30 percent of patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) do not respond to standard treatment and are considered treatment-resistant. The N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor antagonist ketamine has demonstrated rapid antidepressant effects in treatment-resistant MDD, but it is unknown whether its acute psychological effects are related to the later antidepressant...

SummaryPsychotic phenomena include a far wider range of experiences than is captured by the brief descriptions offered in contemporary diagnostic guides. Given the richness of historical clinical phenomenology, what can account for the recent ascendancy of relatively impoverished descriptions of psychosis? One possible explanation is provided by Hacking's notion of dynamic nominalism, where...

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of the kappa opioid agonists produces a marked diuresis in rats via inhibition of vasopressin secretion. Salvinorin A (SalA) is a plant‐derived high affinity agonist for the kappa opioid receptor (KOR). Previous studies have proposed that SalA has similar potency and efficacy as other synthetic kappa agonists in mediating the CNS effects of KOR...
