Halothane produces disinhibition by depressing inhibitory interneurons in rat hippocampal slices.
Membrane and synaptic actions of halothane on rat hippocampal pyramidal neurons and inhibitory interneurons. Anesthetic Actions at GABA and Glutamate Synapses. Anesthetic depression of NMDA receptor-mediated excitatory synaptic transmission. Ischemic modulation of EEG activity in rat brain slices. Halothane and propofol do not depress postsynaptic excitability in hippocampal neurons.
