This is a mini-review of anaesthetic.

  • General mechanisms: change of firing rates and lower cortical metabolism both seem to be factors
  • There are similarities in EEGs between hypnosis and non-REM sleep
  • Brain slicing is a good method to get better spatial resolution than an EEG
  • - Synchronized cortical delta sleep activity originates in the thalamus
  • Temporal coding hypothesis is a controversial "coding-by-frequency" job to explain how different structures in the brain bind their interpretations of the current stimulus together into a whole. Idea is that this gives you consciousness, and if you interrupt it you fall asleep.
