Keywords: Psychiatric Disorders, fMRI (resting state), ketamine
Motivation: The exact mechanism of action of the rapid acting acting antidepressant ketamine is unknown.
Goal(s): Investigation of the functional connectivity changes after acute ketamine in relation to receptor density.
Approach: In a double blind placebo controlled clinical trial an infusion of ketamine or placebo was administered during resting state fMRI at 3T and functional connectivity was compared to receptor density maps.
Results: The functional connectivity changes found correlate well with several receptors known to be involved with depression.
Impact: This approach could be used to evaluate the effects of novel therapeutics in the brain.
