The electrophysiological effects of ethanol in low doses (5-20 mmol/l on 23-92 mg/100 ml) were examined intracellularly in CA1 cells of rat hippocampus in vitro. Inhibitory and excitatory postsynaptic potentials were increased when ethanol was applied to the respective synaptic terminal regions. Postsynaptically, ethanol was applied to the respective synaptic terminal regions. Postsynaptically, ethanol caused a moderate hyperpolarization with increased membrane conductance, even when synaptic transmission was blocked. Ethanol augmented the hyperpolarization that followed repetitive firing or that followed the eliciting of Ca spikes in the presence of tetrodotoxin, but not the rapid afterhyperpolarization in Ca-free medium. Ethanol appears to augment Ca-mediated mechanisms both pre- and postsynaptically.
