Ketamine, a dissociative compound, shows promise in treating mood disorders, including treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and bipolar disorder (BD). Despite its therapeutic potential, the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying ketamine's effects are not fully understood. This study explored acute neurophysiological changes induced by subanesthetic doses of ketamine in BD patients with depression using electroencephalography (EEG) biomarkers.

Children with congenital heart disease often exhibit mutations in cilia-related genes and ciliary dysfunction, requiring sedation for their catheter or surgical interventions during the neonatal period. Here we demonstrate that briefly exposing ciliopathic neonatal mice to ketamine causes motor skill impairments, which are associated with a baseline deficit in neocortical layer V neuron apical spine density and their altered dynamics during motor learning.

Curcumin has been employed in traditional medicine for over a millennium to treat various ailments, and its global use is now widespread. Chinese medicine relies heavily on curcumin as a primary element and uses it to cure infectious diseases, skin disorders, depression, and stress. It has cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and anti-diabetic properties, as well as pharmacological effects on disorders like type II diabetes, atherosclerosis, and human immunodeficiency virus replication.

The current literature provides contradictory results concerning the impact of ketamine-induced anesthesia on traumatic brain injury (TBI) outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the potential of ketamine boluses to influence the brain pathophysiology in TBI patients. Twenty-one studies (n = 886) were extracted from PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library.

Background: Dexmedetomidine and ketamine have long elimination half-lives in humans and have no clinically approved reversal agents. Methylphenidate enhances dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission by inhibiting reuptake transporters for these arousal-promoting neurotransmitters. Previous studies in rats demonstrated that intravenous methylphenidate induces emergence from isoflurane and propofol general anesthesia.
