Parabrachial nucleus excitation reduces cortical delta oscillation (0.5–4 Hz) power and recovery time associated with anesthetics that enhance γ-aminobutyric-acid-type-A receptor action. The effects of parabrachial nucleus excitation on anesthetics with other molecular targets, such as dexmedetomidine and ketamine, remain unknown. We hypothesized that parabrachial nucleus excitation would cause arousal during dexmedetomidine and ketamine anesthesia. Using Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs (DREADDs), we excited calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 2 alpha-positive neurons in the parabrachial nucleus region of adult male rats without anesthesia (9 rats), with dexmedetomidine (low-dose: 0.3 μg·kg−1·min−1 for 45 mins, 8 rats; high-dose: 4.5 μg·kg−1·min−1 for 10 mins, 7 rats), or with ketamine (low-dose: 2 mg·kg−1·min−1 for 30 mins, 7 rats; high-dose: 4 mg·kg−1·min−1 for 15 mins, 8 rats). For control experiments (same rats and treatments), we did not excite DREADDs. We recorded and analyzed the electroencephalogram and anesthesia recovery time. Parabrachial nucleus excitation reduced delta power in the prefrontal electroencephalogram with low-dose dexmedetomidine for the 150-minute analyzed period, excepting two brief periods (peak median bootstrapped difference [clozapine-N-oxide – saline] during dexmedetomidine infusion = −6.06 [99% CIs: −12.36 to −1.48] dB, P = 0.007). However, parabrachial nucleus excitation was less effective at reducing delta power with high-dose dexmedetomidine and low- and high-dose ketamine (peak median bootstrapped differences during high-dose [dexmedetomidine, ketamine] infusions = [−1.93, −0.87] dB, 99% CIs = [−4.16 to −0.56, −1.62 to −0.18] dB, P = [0.006, 0.019]; low-dose ketamine had no statistically significant decreases during the infusion). Recovery time differences with parabrachial nucleus excitation were not statistically significant for dexmedetomidine (median difference for [low, high] dose = [1.63, 11.01] mins, 95% CIs = [−20.06 to 14.14, −20.84 to 23.67] mins, P = [0.945, 0.297]) nor low-dose ketamine (median difference = 12.82 [95% CIs: −3.20 to 39.58] mins, P = 0.109) but were significantly longer for high-dose ketamine (median difference = 11.38 [95% CIs: 1.81 to 24.67] mins, P = 0.016). These results suggest that the effectiveness of parabrachial nucleus excitation to change the neurophysiologic and behavioral effects of anesthesia depends on the anesthetic’s molecular target.
