Ketamine induces plasticity in a norepinephrine-astroglial circuit to promote behavioral perseverance.
Article in Neuron, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Transient exposure to ketamine can trigger lasting changes in behavior and mood. We found that brief ketamine exposure causes long-term suppression of futility-induced passivity in larval zebrafish, reversing the "giving-up" response that normally occurs when swimming fails to cause forward movement. Whole-brain imaging revealed that ketamine hyperactivates the norepinephrine-astroglia circuit responsible for passivity. After ketamine washout, this circuit exhibits hyposensitivity to futility, leading to long-term increased perseverance. Pharmacological, chemogenetic, and optogenetic manipulations show that norepinephrine and astrocytes are necessary and sufficient for ketamine's long-term perseverance-enhancing aftereffects. In vivo calcium imaging revealed that astrocytes in adult mouse cortex are similarly activated during futility in the tail suspension test and that acute ketamine exposure also induces astrocyte hyperactivation. The cross-species conservation of ketamine's modulation of noradrenergic-astroglial circuits and evidence that plasticity in this pathway can alter the behavioral response to futility hold promise for identifying new strategies to treat affective disorders.
