Who do barium ions imitate acetylcholine?

A Constanti et al. Brain Res. 1981.

Abstract

The action of 1-4 mM barium on bullfrog sympathetic ganglion cells was studied using voltage clamp. Barium imitated the action of muscarine, causing depolarization, increased input resistance, tendency to repetitive firing, and a specific inhibition of a slow small outward current termed the M current. Barium did not produce significant short-term inhibition of three other outward currents; the delayed rectifier, the calcium-dependent K current, and the A current.
