In this issue of Neuron, Bharioke et al. (2022) demonstrate that diverse general anesthetic regimens all reversibly and selectively synchronize spontaneous activity of pyramidal neurons in layer 5 of mouse cortex. We discuss the implications of these findings for the mechanism of consciousness and anesthetic-induced unconsciousness.

全身麻醉和皮质对意识的束缚

在本期《神经元》中，Bharioke 等人。(2022) 证明不同的全身麻醉方案都可逆地和选择性地同步小鼠皮层第 5 层锥体神经元的自发活动。我们讨论了这些发现对意识机制和麻醉诱导的无意识的影响。
