Spravato’s mechanism of action involves blocking the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, a key component of the glutamate neurotransmitter system. Glutamate is one of the primary excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain, playing a crucial role in synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. Dysregulation of glutamate signaling has been implicated in various neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression.
By blocking the NMDA receptor, Spravato modulates glutamate neurotransmission, leading to complex downstream effects. One important consequence is the rapid increase in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels. BDNF is a protein that promotes the growth, survival, and differentiation of neurons, and it plays a crucial role in neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt and rewire itself in response to experience.
As part of our psychiatric care in Fort Wayne, we deliver Spravato with structured oversight and ongoing coordination.
