A Dendrite-Focused Framework for Understanding the Actions of Ketamine and Psychedelics

Abstract

Pilot studies have hinted that serotonergic psychedelics such as psilocybin may relieve depression, and could possibly do so by promoting neural plasticity. Intriguingly, another psychotomimetic compound, ketamine, is a fast-acting antidepressant and induces synapse formation. The similarities in behavioral and neural effects have been puzzling because the compounds target distinct molecular receptors in the brain. In this opinion article, we develop a conceptual framework that suggests the actions of ketamine and serotonergic psychedelics may converge at the dendrites, to both enhance and suppress membrane excitability. We speculate that mismatches in the opposing actions on dendritic excitability may relate to these compounds' cell-type and region selectivity, their moderate range of effects and toxicity, and their plasticity-promoting capacities.

  • Ketamine is hypothesized to block NMDAR on GABA interneurons, releasing the inhibition of glutamate release.

    “In addition, ketamine is hypothesized to block NMDAR on GABA interneurons, releasing the inhibition of glutamate release (109).”
  • These structural studies concur with the SV2A results and fit into a general framework whereby rapid antidepressant responses to ketamine also occur along with dendritic expansion, albeit by a different mechanism.

    “Overall, these structural studies concur with the SV2A results discussed above, and fit into a general framework whereby rapid antidepressant responses to ketamine also occur along with dendritic expansion, albeit by a different mechanism [111].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
