title: Ketamine potentiates 5-HT3 receptor-mediated currents in rabbit nodose ganglion neurones.
abstract: The interaction of ketamine with the 5-HT3 receptor of rabbit nodose ganglion neurones is described. Ketamine (3-30 microM) enhanced 5-HT3 receptor-mediated currents recorded under voltage-clamp conditions. This action did not appear to be related to the known effect of ketamine of inhibiting 5-HT uptake.
