GABAergic Currents
in Spinal Ventral Horn Interneurones
FAISAL RACHMAN
Background
Surgical interventions like skin incisions trigger
Methods
Organotypic spinal cord tissue slices were prepared
from mice.
Whole-cell recordings were performed for
quantifying effects of propofol on GABA(A)
receptormediated phasic transmission and tonic
conductance.
Results
Propofol increased GABAergic phasic transmission
Discussion
I.V. anaesthetics like propofol exert their anaesthetic
Conclusions
Propofol depresses ventral horn interneurones
