Hi Linkadge.

"HNK targets a specific subtype of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, the alpha-7 nicotinic receptor, that are located at the nerve junctions, while ketamine targets the N-methy-D- aspartate (NMDA) receptor, which is located throughout the body," Dr. Wainer explained. "The effect of ketamine on the NMDA receptor is the source of the drug's anesthetic activity as well as its unwanted side effects."
