Pancreatic cancer forms "synapses"

Researchers have discovered that pancreatic tumors exploit the body's nervous system by forming so-called pseudosynapses.

GABA/glutamate imbalance is a core feature of Autism. A new review describes how reduced GABA signaling may lead to excessive excitation in key brain circuits. 🧠✨🔍

Why Alcohol Hijacks Neurotransmitters & How to Rebalance Them — Sarah Rusbatch | Sobriety & Grey Area Drinking Coach, Speaker

If you’ve ever wondered why quitting alcohol feels so challenging, the answer lies in your neurotransmitters - the chemical messengers that regulate mood, motivation, and stress response. While alcohol leaves your system in about 72 hours, its long-term effects on neurotransmitters can linger for up

Can ketamine and other glutamate receptor modulators be considered entactogens? - PubMed

Subanesthetic-dose ketamine has recently been reported to improve hedonic pleasures associated with social interactions and altruism in individuals with treatment-resistant depression. However, whether ketamine-among other glutamate receptor modulators-also improves empathy and/or prosocial behavior …

Glutamate plus glutamine to GABA ratio as a predictor of ketamine response in treatment-resistant depression: A double-blind, randomized, open-label extension study - PubMed

These results suggest that excitatory-inhibitory imbalance in the dACC may predict the efficacy of ketamine in TRD.
