Ketamine blocks non-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor channels attenuating glutamatergic transmission in the auditory cortex
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of ketamine on non-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated synaptic transmission in the auditory cortex. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Using whole-cell patch-clamp techniques on pyramidal neurons, we studied the effects of ketamine on excitatory post-synaptic potentials (EPSPs) evoked by electrical stimulation of internal capsule fibers in slices of gerbil auditory cortex. RESULTS: After blockade of the slow, NMDA receptor-mediated EPSP component with DL-2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid, application of ketamine in a concentration-dependent manner led to a reduction in the amplitude of fast, 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxalinedione (CNQX)-sensitive EPSPs, accompanied by an increased membrane resistance. Blockade of non-NMDA glutamate receptors with CNQX prevented both effects. CONCLUSION: Ketamine reduces membrane conductance and glutamatergic excitation, in part by blocking alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-proprionic acid receptor channels that may be constitutively active at a low level in slice preparations of auditory cortex.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
