Does anyone know what the original intention of this research was? Were they trying to find out if Ketamine was a viable treatment for depression, or was it a happy accident? Also, how is this info useful? Is is feasible that a practical treatment could be formed from the results of this find, or are they just reported some interesting but ultimately unuseable effect?
