Description

S Graf and a large team scan brain sugar use after ketamine in healthy humans in 2026. Ketamine lifts mood fast but also causes dissociative effects. How it changes neuron activity is only partly known.

Most past work used magnetic scans that read activity indirectly. Blood flow factors can blur those signals. The team used PET with a labeled sugar tracer instead. That method reads glucose use, a closer sign of cell work. Volunteers were scanned under the drug in a controlled setup. Readers see a direct metabolic picture of a drug that psychiatry uses more each year.
