Isoflurane Modulates Hippocampal Cornu Ammonis Pyramidal Neuron Excitability by Inhibition of Both Transient and Persistent Sodium Currents in Mice

Conclusions Isoflurane at clinically relevant concentrations inhibits both transient and persistent sodium currents in hippocampal cornu ammonis pyramidal neurons. These mechanisms may contribute to reductions in both hippocampal neuron excitability and synaptic neurotransmission.
