Abstract
Background: Ketamine has recently been proposed as a treatment option for suicidality. Whilst its mechanism of action has been explored at molecular levels, the effect on the brain at the organ level remains unclear. Here we investigate immediate post treatment and prolonged large scale resting state neural network changes to elucidate the neuronal underpinnings associated with ketamine's therapeutic effects.
Methods: Twenty eight adults (aged 22–72 years) participated in the Oral Ketamine Trial On Suicidality, which is an open label trial of weekly sub anaesthetic doses of oral ketamine over 6 weeks. MRI was acquired at baseline, post treatment, and follow up. Functional connectivity changes at post treatment and follow up were examined using seed based and independent component analysis. Results: The seed based connectivity analysis revealed significantly reduced connectivity at post treatment from the right hippocampus to both right and left superior frontal gyrus, from the left anterior parahippocampus to right superior frontal gyrus, left superior frontal gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, and left frontal operculum cortex. Compared with baseline, the ICA showed reduced anterior default mode network connectivities to bilateral posterior cingulate cortex, middle and anterior cingulate cortex, lingual gyrus, and cuneus and increased connectivity of the frontoparietal network to the right superior parietal lobule at post treatment.
