1 We investigated whether change in neuronal activity in cholinergic pathways mediates the anesthetic effect of the alpha2 agonist, dexmedetomidine, by determining whether physostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor, could antagonize the hypnotic response to dexmedetomidine in the rat and whether dexmedetomidine decreases the release of acetylcholine (ACh) in the thalamus in vivo.
