Research Abstract

In this study, the identified dopaminergic excitatory synapse was reconstructed between the somata of two identified Lymnaea neurons, right pedal dorsal 1 (RPeD1 -the giant dopaminergic neuron ; presynaptic cell) and visceral dorsal, 2/3 (VD2/3 ; postsynaptic cell). Current clamp technique was used to determine whether clinically relevant concentrations (0.5-2%) of sevoflurane could block both the (synaptic) response of VD2/3 to depolarizing currents induced to RPeD land the (non-synaptic) responses of RPeD1 and VD2/3 to exogenously applied dopamine (DA). The application of DA (10 μ M) was directed to the soma-soma superfusing or non-superfusing sites on the synapse. Sevoflurane was found to suppress both synaptic and non synaptic DA responses in VD2/3 (0.5% ;>60%, 2% ;>90%), while weakly suppress the non synaptic DA response response in RPeD1. Sevoflurane's ability to suppress those responses was then comapred with DA antagonists. The D2 antagonist (+-) sulpiride almost completely (>85%) blocked those all responses in RPeD1 and VD2/3, though the general DA antagonist d-tubocurarine did not block only the non synaptic DA response in RPeD1. The effects of all drugs used did not differ the superfusing versus the non-superfusing sites of DA application. Our data demonstrate that sevoflurane-induced suppression of responses on the excitatory synapse between RPeD1 and VD2/3 is predominantly postsynaptic.
