Abstract:
:The effects of ketamine on the cholinergic excitatory and inhibitory (Cl component) responses in Aplysia neurons were examined using the iontophoretic application of ACh and the two-microelectrode voltage clamp technique. Ketamine reduced both responses non-competitively to the same extent in a dose-dependent and reversible manner at concentrations between 10(-6) and 10(-3) M, without changing the reversal potentials. These findings suggest that ketamine depresses the cholinergic responses by affecting the gating mechanism at postsynaptic membranes.
