Brief Summary: There is an urgent need for novel and effective interventions for treatment-resistant depression TRD In previous studies ketamine has been shown to rapidly reduce depressive symptoms however the exact mechanisms of action of ketamine remain unknown There are some preliminary findings to suggest that ketamine may exert its antidepressant effects through promotion of neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus The aim of this study is to help delineate the neurocognitive effects of ketamine exposure using a behavioral task specifically a pattern separation task and a battery of other well-established cognitive measures

This is an assessment-only study as we will be recruiting subjects to complete an assessment battery at two time points before and after receiving ongoing ketamine administrations for at least four weeks
