Drug targets: turning the channel (on) for sedation.

Current biology : CB - 9 Mar 2004

Sandstrom David J, Nash Howard

Abstract excerpt

Genetic techniques have recently implicated two different ion channels as critical molecular targets for the sedative action of ethanol and intravenous anesthetics. In each case, the target is hyperactivated by the drug.
