Hi,
Thanks for responding and sorry that it has taken me so long to respond back, just struggling to do what I need to do each day really before I give up and go to bed every night.
From what I understand Ketamine stops Glutamate from acting on NMDA receptors but I was also under the impression that it decreased glutamate as well (which can be destructive to brain cells) are you saying that it increases Glutamate in certain parts of the brain and not others? And it if Ketamine increases Glutamate wouldn't it then be destructive?
Sorry for the questions, I have hired a book about synapsis from the library and so am hoping to learn a bit more but it can be so confusing especially when my brain doesn't seem to be firing on all cylinders as it is.
Thanks.....Denise
