Transcriptional mechanisms that produce BK channel-dependent drug tolerance and dependence
Tolerance to anesthetic drugs is mediated partially by homeostatic mechanisms that attempt to restore normal neural excitability. The BK-type Ca2+-activated K+ channel, encoded by the slo gene, plays an important role in this neural adaptation. In Drosophila, a single sedative dose of the organic so...
