    Anesth Analg 113:500-4. 2011
    ..The end points of amnesia and immobility produced by an inhaled anesthetic have yet to be evaluated in this conditional knockout...
  2. ncbi Gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor alpha 4 subunit knockout mice are resistant to the amnestic effect of isoflurane
    Vinuta Rau
    Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California 94143 0464, USA
    Anesth Analg 109:1816-22. 2009
    ..GABA(A)-Rs containing the alpha4 subunit are highly concentrated in the hippocampus and thalamus, and when combined with delta subunits they mediate tonic inhibition, which is sensitive to low concentrations of isoflurane...
  3. ncbi Isoflurane suppresses stress-enhanced fear learning in a rodent model of post-traumatic stress disorder
    Vinuta Rau
    Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care, University of California, San Francisco, California 94143 0464, USA
    Anesthesiology 110:487-95. 2009
    ..Subsequent exposure to a single foot shock produces an enhanced fear response. This effect is akin to sensitized reactions shown by some post-traumatic stress disorder patients to cues previously associated with the traumatic event...

    Jennifer Shih
    Department of Anesthesia, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California 94143, USA
    Anesthesiology 116:586-602. 2012
    ..We tested the hypothesis that anesthesia-induced cognitive decline in rats is treatable. We also tested if anesthesia-induced cognitive decline is aggravated by tissue injury...
