A single dose of ketamine may be able to curb harmful drinking behavior by 'rewriting drinking memories,' according to a study.
A single dose of ketamine may be able to curb harmful drinking behavior by"rewriting drinking memories," according to a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications.
The researchers say that, when coupled with an exercise involving beer that pulls memories of alcohol to the foreground, there's evidence that the drug can disrupt how the brain associates these cues -- like the smell or taste of beer -- to its perceived"reward," making relapse less likely.
The group that received ketamine alone saw improvements, too, but not to the same degree as those presented with alcohol-related cues, according to the authors.Kranzler said the study is an intriguiguing proof-of-principle that he suspects will spur subsequent studies needed to replicated these findings.
