Study Notes
Anaesthetic Effects on Synaptic Transmission
- Anaesthetics predominantly affect synaptic transmission, rather than action potential propagation.
Excitatory Synaptic Transmission
- Anaesthetics block excitatory receptors, including:
- Glutamatergic receptors
- Cholinergic receptors
- Serotonergic (5HT) receptors
Inhibitory Synaptic Transmission
- Anaesthetics generally enhance the function of inhibitory synaptic receptors, including:
- GABA-A receptors
- TREK potassium channels
