Review
The role of calcium homeostasis and calcium currents in ethanol actions on central mammalian neurons
Alcohol Alcohol Suppl.
1993.
Abstract
The ubiquitous role of calcium in ethanol actions measured electrophysiologically in central neurons is discussed. Acute ethanol administration to rat hippocampal neurons in vitro causes a hyperpolarization, increased AHPs, increased EPSPs and IPSPs, decreased modelled electronic interneuronal coupling, decreased high threshold Ca2+ currents, increased Ik, and increased synaptic GABAA currents. Alcohol withdrawal reverses some of these actions. Ca2+ is implicated in all of the above ethanol mediated effects.
