5 if the sensitivity of the neurones to the endogenous excitatory transmitter is affected by anaesthetics in the same way as the glutamate-sensitivity , these results suggest that halothane depresses synaptic transmission by decreasing the amount of transmitter released from the nerve terminals , whereas the other anaesthetics depress the sensitivity of the post-synaptic membrane to the released transmitter .
