National Center for PTSD

The National Center for PTSD (NC-PTSD) is a US Department of Veterans Affairs centre of excellence for research, education, and training on post-traumatic stress disorder, operating across seven VA medical centre sites with a focus on evidence-based assessment and treatment. The Centre has supported mechanistic ketamine research in military and veteran populations, including an investigation of AMPA receptor blockade on ketamine’s anti-suicidal effects relevant to veteran mental health crises.
