This animal study evaluated ketamine administration combined with extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure in a chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) rat model. The authors report that the combined treatment increased depression-like behavior and neuronal degeneration, reduced GFAP(+) cells in…

This rat EEG study reports that weak electromagnetic fields elicited evoked potentials in awake animals but not under anesthesia that included ketamine. Xylazine anesthesia did not eliminate EMF-evoked potentials, whereas ketamine (an NMDA receptor antagonist) was associated with absence of both EMF-evoked and…
