fMRI signals “up,” but neural metabolism might be going “down.”
In our @natneuro.nature.com paper, we demonstrate that about 40% of voxels with robust BOLD responses exhibit opposite oxygen metabolism, revealing two distinct hemodynamic modes.

New research in those with depression shows the opioid system is involved in ketamine's antidepressant response. The doses of ketamine used to treat depression are unlikely to interact directly with opioid receptors, but are co-expressed with NMDA receptors on GABAergic interneurons. 1/3

Research which is investigating why ketamine could be a good treatment for some people with depression, has discovered that the drug’s antidepressant effects involve the brain’s opioid system.
The study was supported by @nihr.bsky.social and the MRC.
