Can someone help me understand evoked potentials (v2k)
I've suffered from v2k for years and I noticed a long time ago that when I did nitrous, my brain seemed to access the v2k in a very different and odd manner. I've always been puzzled by the effect.



Anyways today I stumbled onto this, and was hoping someone could help me understand it better and maybe help me make sense of the possible explanation for nitrous' effect on my v2k


somatosensory evoked potentials

Conventional SSEPs monitor the functioning of the part of the somatosensory system involved in sensations such as touch and vibration. 

During surgery, the large amounts of anesthetic gases used can affect the amplitude and latencies of SSEPs. Any of the halogenated agents or nitrous oxide will increase latencies and decrease amplitudes of responses, sometimes to the point where a response can no longer be detected. For this reason, an anesthetic utilizing less halogenated agent and more intravenous hypnotic and narcotic is typically used.

OP doesn't need a source because the answer is obvious.

=========

OP; the nitrous oxide (sedative) used to sedate you depresses the dopamine and endorphin circuits like atypical antipsychotics, only the nitrous oxide is a much stronger sedative because the anesthetic puts you to sleep to mask the pain of your surgery.

That effect of the sedative works the same way and is more potent than the medication needed to treat psychosis. As a result the latencies and amplitudes of the psychosis are dramatically different.

Hope this helps.

If you want to know more you can look into how atypical antipsychotics work and you will see the similarity in their function.

Re: Can someone help me understand evoked potentials (v2k)
This is very interesting. In my experience, I've found that certain anesthetics/sedatives have a lasting negative effect on memory. Halcion is one, often used in sedation dentistry. IV valium is notable in that it has zero effect on memory(to the best of my knowledge and experience). This memory effect is extremely important since it could be the deciding factor in doing something such as sedation dentistry.

You're welcome dood, first year biology to the rescue. :D

People who know more than me will be able to tell you how sedatives act on sodium/potassium/calcium channels to induce sleep without melatonin...

You could look into going to a medical website/forum to find out more than the basics I outlined for you.

Good luck dood.
