The study of the mechanisms underlying the effects of general anesthetics on spinal cord

There are very extensive and complex effects of general anesthetics on spinal cord, so the advanced study on the mechanisms underlying the effects of general anesthetics at the spinal cord level will undoubtedly promote the more reasonable application of the general anesthetics and the understanding of mechanisms of general anesthesia. This paper reviews the actions of general anesthetics on neurons, synaptic transmissions, related receptors as well as ion channels in the spinal cord.
