Mechanisms of Consciousness with Emphasis on the Cerebral Cortical Componentnterrelated components of conscious awareness. We still do not have a complete understanding of how these components are integrated to produce conscious awareness, partly because consciousness is such a subjective, ephemeral subject. Nonetheless, considerable gains have been made in revealing detail

Anesthesia Meets Memoryntity of memory research, with emphasis on the interaction of memory with drugs. Pharmacologic manipulations of memory are used to either (1) understand how drugs affect memory or (2) understand how memory works. Beyond the classic concepts of memory, it is somewhat fruitless to provide a detailed d

Cerebral Cortex—Anesthetic Action on the Electroencephalogram exactly is “normal brain function” and how is it affected by general anesthetics? At a reductionist level one may attempt to understand anesthetic effects on the brain by examining anesthetic actions on individual neurons (e.g., spike train frequency), synapses (e.g., amplitude and time course of s

It is especially well suited for brain slice experiments because several important synaptic connections can be preserved in thin sections. Much ha

Anesthetic Effects on the Reticular Formation, Brainstem and Central Nervous System Arousaloften called an “activating system” because of its ability to increase “arousal,” presumably by activation of subcortical and cortical structures. Furthermore, numerous sites in the brainstem are involved in descending modulation of nociception. Thus, it is likely that anesthetics exert some of thei
