How does general anesthesia work?
General anesthesia is a fascinating man-made, neurophysiological phenomenon that has been developed empirically over many years to enable safe and humane performance of surgical and non-surgical procedures. Despite its use for nearly 170 years, and the fact that today it is administered daily to millions of patients worldwide, the mechanisms for how anesthetics act in the brain to create the states of anesthesia are not well understood.
Our research focuses on restoring consciousness and cognitive function after general anesthesia and uncovering mechanisms of anesthetic-induced unconsciousness using a systems neuroscience approach..
