Low dose isoflurane exerts opposing effects on neuronal network excitability in neocortex and hippocampus.

The anesthetic excitement phase occurring during induction of anesthesia with volatile anesthetics is a well-known phenomenon in clinical practice. However, the physiological mechanisms underlying anesthetic-induced excitation are still unclear. Here we provide evidence from in vitro experiments per...
