Behavior and Cellular Evidence for Propqfol-induced Hypnosis Involving Brain Glycine Receptors

摘要

It is well documented that several general anesthetics, including propofol, potentiate glycine receptor function. Furthermore, glycine receptors exist throughout the central nervous system, including areas of the brain thought to be involved in sleep. However, the role of glycine receptors in anesthetic-induced hypnosis has not been determined
