We're live tonight at 8pm to chat about recent neuroscience publications painting cannabis legalization as a gateway to increased rates of psychosis and schizophrenia. We'll also discuss whether ketamine should be treated as a final frontier of depression treatment.
There is much that remains to be known about our understanding of ketamine’s antidepressant properties; and although the arrival of esketamine has been received with great enthusiasm, it is now more important than ever that its mechanisms of action be fully delineated, and both the short- and long-term neurobiological/functional consequences of its treatment be thoroughly characterized.
