However, prolonged or high-dose ketamine exposure induces a compensatory upregulation of NMDARs, increasing intracellular calcium ion influx and ROS production, ultimately leading to neuronal apoptosis ( In animal studies, antagonism of NMDA receptors in intermediate neurons of the forebrain and thalamus reduces GABAergic function
