New research in those with depression shows the opioid system is involved in ketamine's antidepressant response. The doses of ketamine used to treat depression are unlikely to interact directly with opioid receptors, but are co-expressed with NMDA receptors on GABAergic interneurons. 1/3

Research which is investigating why ketamine could be a good treatment for some people with depression, has discovered that the drug’s antidepressant effects involve the brain’s opioid system. The study was supported by @nihr.bsky.social and the MRC. www.maudsleybrc.nihr.ac.uk/posts/2025/j...
Dr Luke Jelen, lead author of the study and a Clinical Lecturer in Psychiatry at IoPPN King’s College London, said:

“Ketamine often makes the news for negative reasons. However, at a low dose, ketamine shows enormous potential to offer relief from the symptoms of depression.”

“Understanding whether the opioid system is involved ketamine’s antidepressant effects is a really important question, given how much we still don't know about how ketamine works. “Our study shows that the opioid system is involved and offers insight into how it contributes to ketamine’s effects.”

They were arrested during routine ICE check-ins. Then they disappeared.
