A new study published in Neuropsychopharmacology has revealed how the drug ketamine changes the way our brains process touch, especially the difference between touch from ourselves versus someone else.
Researchers found that under ketamine, the brain struggles to distinguish between self-produced and other-produced touch.
These findings offer new insights into how psychiatric symptoms related to self-awareness could be mirrored in the brain.
While ketamine altered the subjective and neural experiences of touch, it did not appear to affect basic touch sensitivity.
The findings suggest an exciting path for future studies to explore how alterations in self-perception, brought about by substances like ketamine, might help address self-related challenges in mental health disorders.
