Neural Circuit Balance
Homeostatic plasticity is a crucial mechanism that maintains the balance of neural circuit activity, adjusting receptor availability based on the circuit's recent activity levels. Lithium reduces the excitability of neurons over time, while ketamine enhances it, showcasing their distinct effects on mood regulation. A pivotal study highlights these dynamics, emphasizing their implications for treating mood disorders.In this clip
