The effects of halothane (0.2%, 0.5%, and 1.0%) on the spinal dorsal horn wide dynamic range (WDR) neuronal activity was studied in either spinal cord intact or spinal transected cats. Extracellular activity was recorded in the dorsal horn from single WDR neurons responding to noxious and non-noxious stimuli applied to the cutaneous receptive fields on the left hind foot pads of intact or decerebrate, spinal cord transected (L 1-2) cats. When 10 micrograms of bradykinin was injected into the femoral artery ipsilateral to the recording site as the noxious test stimulus in the spinal cat, all of 7 WDR neurons gave excitatory responses which were not depressed by 0.2% and 0.5% halothane but were depressed significantly by 1.0%. On the other hand, when the injection of 10 micrograms of bradykinin into the femoral artery ipsilateral to the recording site was used in the intact cat, 7 of 14 WDR neurons (50%) gave excitatory responses, which were not depressed by 0.2% halothane but were significantly depressed by 0.5% and 1.0% halothane, and 7 of 14 WDR neurons (50%) gave inhibitory responses, which were significantly depressed by 0.2%, 0.5%, and 1.0% halothane. We have found that halothane reduces the excitation as well as the inhibition of dorsal horn WDR neuronal activity induced by bradykinin injection.
