In vivo and ex vivo evidence for ketamine‐induced hyperglutamatergic activity in the cerebral cortex of the rat: Potential relevance to schizophrenia
11 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
Subanesthetic doses of ketamine, a noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, impair prefrontal cortex (PFC) function in the rat and produce symptoms in humans similar to those observed in patients with schizophrenia. In the present study, in vivo (1) H-MRS and ex vivo (1) H high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) spectroscopy was used to examine the brain metabolism of rats treated...
