Action of the general anaesthetic isoflurane reveals coupling between viscoelasticity and electrophysiological activity in individual neurons
Abstract General anaesthetics are widely used for their analgesic, immobilising, and hypnotic effects. The mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear, but likely arise from alterations to cell microstructure, and potentially mechanics. Here we investigate this hypothesis using a custom exper...
