Memory Reconsolidation Theory

• Ketamine may disrupt maladaptive memory reconsolidation.
• VR can then introduce new, positive associations during memory restorage.
• This dual-action weakens pathological triggers (e.g., trauma cues).
• Understanding reconsolidation informs session design.

Anxiety Disorder Applications

• VR exposure targets specific phobias (e.g., heights, spiders).
• Ketamine’s calming properties help patients tolerate initial exposure.
• Progressive desensitization in VR reduces real-world anxiety triggers.
• Clinical trials show significant symptom reduction after 4–6 sessions.

VR for Pain Distraction

• VR diverts attention away from painful stimuli by immersive engagement.
• Ketamine’s analgesic effects reduce pain signals centrally.
• Patients report lower pain scores during combined sessions.
• This approach can minimize opioid use in procedural settings.

Safety Monitoring During Ketamine Infusion

• Vital signs (BP, HR) are checked pre-, intra-, and post-infusion.
• Dissociative effects are monitored to ensure patient comfort.
• Emergency protocols (IV fluids, oxygen) are in place if needed.
• Rigorous safety checks underpin ketamine-VR’s clinical viability.

VR-Induced Neurofeedback

• Some VR systems integrate real-time EEG or heart-rate feedback.
• Patients learn to self-regulate stress responses during scenarios.
• Ketamine may amplify feedback learning by increasing plasticity.
• Neurofeedback + VR fosters durable self-control skills.

Ketamine Metabolism Basics

• Ketamine is converted in the liver to norketamine and dehydronorketamine.
• Active metabolites contribute to therapeutic effects.
• Individual metabolic rates influence dosing schedules.
• Understanding metabolism helps optimize infusion timing.

Measuring Treatment Response

• Use standardized scales (e.g., PCL-5) before and after therapy.
• VR engagement metrics (duration, task completion) track behavioral progress.
• Combining clinical and digital data provides a full picture.
• Objective measurement guides personalized protocol adjustments.

Timing the “Plasticity Window”

• The “plasticity window” peaks ~24–48 hours post-ketamine dose.
• Delivering VR experiences then maximizes synaptic rewiring.
• Clinicians schedule VR sessions accordingly for best outcomes.
• Precise timing is key to long-lasting therapeutic gains.

05/27/2025

VR & Exposure Therapy

• VR safely recreates anxiety-provoking scenarios (e.g., social situations).
• Graduated exposure in VR helps extinguish fear responses.
• Ketamine’s anxiolytic effects ease initial distress during exposure.
• Repetition in VR under ketamine enhances long-term anxiety reduction.

🌟 Memorial Day: Holding Space for All Who Served
Today we pause to honor the men and women who gave everything—lives, futures, and often their quietest hopes—so the rest of us could live and dream in peace. Their courage resonates far beyond the battlefield, echoing in families, communities, and the minds of those who still carry unseen scars.

As we remember:
Name their stories aloud. Memory grows stronger when spoken.
Sit with the silence. A moment of stillness invites both gratitude and healing.
Stand beside the living. Some battles continue long after the bugle fades; compassion is the sincerest tribute.
May our collective remembrance become a bridge—from sacrifice to solace, from loss to renewed life—honoring every fallen hero and every survivor’s path toward wholeness.
With reverence,
HealoVerse Medical

Glutamate’s Role in Mood

• Glutamate is the brain’s primary excitatory neurotransmitter.
• Ketamine causes a controlled glutamate “burst,” boosting mood circuits.
• VR modules guide this increased plasticity toward adaptive behaviors.
• Understanding glutamate dynamics helps explain rapid antidepressant action.

NMDA Blockade & Neuroplasticity

• Ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain.
• This blockade triggers a surge of glutamate and BDNF release.
• The result is enhanced synaptic growth and connectivity.
• VR training during this window can solidify healthier neural pathways.
