Possible mechanism of rubidium-induced hyperactivity in the rat. |
|
| Authors: | C P Chow H H Cornish |
| Abstract: | This study suggests that replacement of intracellular potassium by rubidium ions might lower the resting membrane potential. Thus rubidium-treated rats were more responsive to depolarizing influences and generated more cyclic AMP in the brainstem and consequently the behavioral changes. |
