Hi Phillipa,
From what I understand researchers believe that glutamate plays a role in depression in that too much of it damages brain cells. Ketamine is supposed to block the action of glutamate on certain NMDA receptors and relieve depression very quickly for some people in the trial.
That's about as far as my understanding goes, the more I read the more mind boggling it seems, I feel totally daunted by it all.
Love.....Denise
