Well, if you titrate it, you can come back into balance, right? So what you do is you fight depression with schizophrenia, a touch of schizophrenia. Now, you have to keep giving. I think once every three weeks, they have to have a new dose of ketamine. But it's helped an enormous number of people with very, very severe clinical depression.
So as we learn more about the mechanisms underlying some of these disorders, extrapolating and coming up with some solutions at least to prevent it from getting worse. By the way, I'm pretty sure that the large language models could have figured this out long ago.

Like, hey, this stuff is going to turn out to be wrong, or hey, this stuff is... Okay, you know, this is all very, very speculative. And really, we can begin actually to see this happening now. So I have a colleague at the Salk Institute, Rusty Gage. Mm-hmm.

very uh distinguished uh neuroscientist and he was he was one of the he discovered that there are new neurons being born in the hippocampus right which is something in adults which is something that in a textbook says that doesn't happen right so that was around 1998 that's right that's right and i actually have a paper with him where we tested ltp long-term potentiation of

Yeah. And there was some cancer drug that was given that they showed that there were new cells that they were able to later in postmortem to actually see that they were born in the adult. Okay. So here we are, okay, in 1998. And the question is, can you jump? Can you jump into the future? Okay. So Rusty...

We happened to talk about this issue about he's using these large language models now for his research. I said, oh, wow, how do you use it? And he said, we use it as an idea pump. What do you mean idea pump? Well, we give it all of the experiments that we've done. And we have the literature, it's access to the literature and so forth. And we ask it for ideas for new experiments.
