Intracerebroventricular infusion of 5‐HT and 5‐HT 1A or 2C receptor agonists or antagonists changed the emergence time of isoflurane anesthesia. A, Verification of cannula track for intracerebroventricular infusion. B, Experimental protocol of assessment of time to RORR. C, Intracerebroventricular application of 5‐HT shortened the emergence time in a dose‐dependent manner (P = 0.0049). D, Intracerebroventricular application of 5‐HT 1A receptor agonist shortened the emergence time in a dose‐dependent manner (P = 0.0053). E, Intracerebroventricular application of 5‐HT 1A receptor antagonist prolonged the emergence time in a dose‐dependent manner (P < 0.001). F, Intracerebroventricular application of 5‐HT 2A/2C receptor agonist shortened the emergence time in a dose‐dependent manner (P = 0.0470). G, Intracerebroventricular application of 5‐HT 2A receptor had no effect on the emergence time (P = 0.8154). H, Intracerebroventricular application of 5‐HT 2C receptor antagonist prolonged the emergence time in a dose‐dependent manner (P < 0.001) (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001, one‐way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test)
