Effects of ethanol on the electrical membrane properties of cultured human sensory neurons.
The effect of ethanol on the electrical membrane properties of cultured human fetal sensory neurons was studied with the whole cell tight seal technique. Alcohol diminished in high concentrations (greater than 200 mM) Na- and K-conductance.
