BACKGROUND: Ketamine is a dissociative drug used for the treatment of depression. However, the neurofunctional mechanism underlying the antidepressant effect of ketamine remains unknown. According to previous research, low-dose ketamine affects large-scale brain networks, including default-mode and salient networks.
METHODS: A total of 43 patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and suicidal ideation (SI) were randomly assigned to receive a single infusion of either 0.5 mg/kg ketamine or 0.045 mg/kg midazolam. Depressive and suicidal symptoms were evaluated using the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale: Ideation Severity Subscale. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging was performed at baseline and on day 3 after infusion. Graph theoretic metrics such as degree centrality and clustering coefficient were examined.
RESULTS: Relative to midazolam use, low-dose ketamine infusion reduced depressive (p = 0.001) and suicidal (p = 0.025) symptoms and improved the brain network integrity, including increased degree centrality and clustering coefficient in the angular gyrus and increased degree centrality in the right thalamus.
DISCUSSION: Neurofunctional changes in the thalamus and default-mode network (angular gyrus) may be associated with the antidepressant effect of ketamine on patients with TRD and SI.
