A Metabolic Mechanism for Anaesthetic Suppression of Cortical Synaptic Function in Mouse Brain Slices—A Pilot Investigation

Regulation of synaptically located ionotropic receptors is thought to be the main mechanism by which anaesthetics cause unconsciousness. An alternative explanation, which has received much less attention, is that of primary anaesthetic disruption of brain metabolism via suppression of mitochondrial...
