<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A complete and authoritative guide to the science of ketamine, the controversial yet current drug of choice for treating depression, a drug whose efficacy and impact is not yet well-established"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The emergence of ketamine--previously known as a combat anesthetic and club drug--as a treatment for depression.</b> <p/>Ketamine, approved in 2019 by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of depression, has been touted by scientists and media reports as something approaching a miracle cure. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series chronicles the ascent of a drug that has been around for fifty years--in previous incarnations, a Vietnam-era combat anesthetic and a popular club drug--that has now been reinvented as a treatment for depression. Bita Moghaddam, a leading researcher in neuropharmacology, explains the scientific history and the biology of ketamine, its clinical use, and its recently discovered antidepressant effects, for the nonspecialist reader.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Bita Moghaddam is a leading researcher in the field of neuropsychopharmacology. She is Ruth Matarazzo Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland.
