Summary
This preclinical phase 1 development study in healthy volunteers seeks to identify if low
doses of commonly used non-triggering anesthetic agents might have clinical utility for
modulating emotional memory processing and to understand the nature of the brain mechanisms
of drug action. Optimally, a drug, dose and brain mechanism of action will be identified that
will form the foundation for future use in clinical studies of patients with PTSD.
