Psychotomimetic and dissociative effects occur with ketamine because it attaches to and blocks the channel of the NMDA glutamate receptor.
Rapastinel attaches to a very different site of the NMDA receptor (glycine coreceptor) than does ketamine. Whereas ketamine completely blocks the glutamate channel, Rapastinel attaches off to the side and acts more as a modulator.
