Patients experiencing delirium or agitation when coming out of anesthesia ... believe hyperactivity may result from the microglia intervening too much between the neuron and inhibitory synapses.

The GABA A receptor is a channel that allows chloride ions to flow into the neuron, decreasing the voltage within the cell relative to the extracellular space. Such hyper­polarization decreases the ...

Activity of a neuron assembly in the auditory cortex during wakefulness (white dots) and under anesthesia (green dots). Each dot corresponds to an electrical impulse from a neuron.
