Ketamine and Neuroplasticity

New Research continues to come out regularly showing the benefits of Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapies. This study coming out of UC Davis talks about changing the name of the class of medications to ‘Psychoplastogen” because of the increase in neuroplasticity associated with these substances. Neuroplasticity is the term to describe the brain being able to change through making new synaptic connections. Ketamine is one of the many substances known to increase neuroplasticity. The key to utilizing Ketamine and similar substances involves making changes in your patterns of thoughts, behaviors, and perceptions in conjunction with treatment. This is one of the reasons Ketamine when combined with Psychotherapy can make sustainable changes in your life.
