I listened to this topic on National Public Radio Yesterday. They dissociated mice with Ketamine and noticed the dissociation was concurrent with electrical oscillations in a certain area of the mice brains.
Then, a neurologist found an epileptic patient who experienced dissociation while having similar electrical oscillations in that region of his brain.
My dissociation was in conjunction with an epileptic syndrome. My illness began with electrical phenomena (seizure induced epileptic discharges), and ended with the electrical convulsions
of Electro Convulsive Therapy. (induced grand mal seizures). I was explaining the experience to my younger brother just the other day and I made the analogy of the ECT
having reset me to "factory defaults".
