"In this latter respect, we found that ketamine mediated inhibition of HCN1 containing channels in cortical pyramidal neurons enhances dendritosomatic synaptic integration, an effect that would support the synaptically mediated slow cortical rhythms that accompany the hypnotic state induced by ketamine XREF_BIBR - XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR."
reach
"Whereas such in vitro results provide a strong correlative argument to implicate NMDA receptors, we find that the same case can be made for HCN1 channels : EC 50 values obtained for ketamine inhibition of HCN1 channels are within a clinically relevant range and HCN1 channels are more potently inhibited by S-(+)-ketamine than racemic ketamine."

"Importantly, whereas ketamine increased EPSP temporal summation by ~ 28% (from 1.9 +/- 0.2 to 2.5 +/- 0.2, n = 5, p < 0.05) in HCN1 f/f mice, this effect of ketamine was totally eliminated in pyramidal neurons of CaMKCre : HCN1 f/f mice (from 3.1 +/- 0.2 to 3.2 +/- 0.2, n = 5, P> 0.05)."
reach
"As knowledge of the molecular determinants for ketamine inhibition of HCN1 channels becomes available, it may be possible to develop knock-in mice that express ketamine insensitive mutant HCN1 channels, preferably in more restricted neuronal populations, to even more rigorously define the molecular and neuronal targets for this specific clinical endpoint of ketamine."
