麻酔薬として知られるケタミンは、より低い投与量で抗うつ作用を示す。この抗うつ作用にはmTORC1キナーゼのシグナルが重要であることが過去に示されていた(下記)。mTORC1には様々な標的分子があるが、ここではそれらのうち4E-BP1および4E-BP2に着目し、解析を行った。 https://t.co/FKmAsUPkhc

@samuelkohtala @PhilCorlett1 @MiyaraMD @TheBorisLab @RCarhartHarris @KatrinPreller @UMichAnesthesia @stanfordanes @iars360 Agree with Phil this is one way to test dissociation of the psychological experience and antidepressant effect. Regarding disruption of neural activity, there are preclinical studies (e.g., via NBQX pretreatment https://t.co/vjhw2hTS34 https://t.co/Wot44EBFzU).
