Sensational headlines warn that ketamine shrinks brain tissue, but what actually happens to human neuroanatomy under chronic, extreme exposure? A landmark systematic review analyzing brain scans from hundreds of heavy recreational users reveals exactly where therapeutic healing ends and structural degradation begins.

Discover how years of multi-gram daily abuse erode cortical gray matter and fray white matter wiring through glutamate excitotoxicity, while low-dose medical treatments protect and rebuild neural networks. We unpack critical research caveats like polydrug use and reveal why the dose truly makes the poison. Tune in to separate internet panic from clinical reality and protect your peace of mind.
