Ketamine Reduces "Giving Up"
"Whole-brain imaging revealed ketamine overstimulated astrocytes, reducing their sensitivity to stress signals and making the fish more persistent. Similar mechanisms were confirmed in mice, suggesting astroglia play a crucial role in depression treatment."
Now I know what to do with burnouts 🤗

Ketamine Reduces “Giving Up” by Targeting Brain Support Cells
Researchers have found that ketamine’s antidepressant effects target astroglia, a type of brain support cell, rather than neurons, challenging conventional views.

New insights on Ketamite function
Experience of Awe, is probably the main ingredient.
Awe is defined as a constellation of reactions that occur when a person encounters a “vast mystery” or experiences a need for “accommodation” to reorganize their knowledge structures to make sense of what they have encountered.
Interestingly, correlations between improvements in depression and the intensity of dissociative symptoms were negligible, suggesting that the experiences of awe might play a central role in ketamine’s antidepressant effects

Experiences of awe may drive ketamine’s antidepressant benefits
Ketamine infusion induces feelings of awe, which may mediate its antidepressant effects. Stronger awe experiences were linked to greater, longer-lasting depression symptom improvements, independent of dissociative symptoms

Quantum computing occurs naturally in the human brain, study finds
New research shows that certain proteins rich in tryptophan—especially those found in brain cells—might act as networks for quantum computing.
