Diazepam and ethanol differently modulate neuronal activity in organotypic cortical cultures

Abstract Background The pharmacodynamic results of diazepam and ethanol administration are similar, in that each can mediate amnestic and sedative-hypnotic effects. Although each of these molecules effectively reduce the activity of central neurons, diazepam does so through modulation of a more spec...
