Deep thiopental anesthesia alters steady-state glucose homeostasis but not the neurochemical profile of rat cortex

Barbiturates are regularly used as an anesthetic for animal experimentation and clinical procedures and are frequently provided with solubilizing compounds, such as ethanol and propylene glycol, which have been reported to affect brain function and, in the ...

Modeling the effects of midazolam on cortical and thalamic neurons

Sean Lewis Hill

Controversy exists regarding the site where anesthetics act in the brain to produce sedation and unconsciousness. Actions in the cerebral cortex and thalamus are likely, although the relative importance of each site is unclear. We used in computo modeling ...

Modeling the Gabaergic Action of Etomidate on the Thalamocortical System

Sean Lewis Hill

BACKGROUND: We have used a computational model of the thalamocortical system to investigate the effects of a GABAergic anesthetic (etomidate) on cerebral cortical and thalamic neuronal function. We examined the effects of phasic an tonic inhibition, as wel ...

Estimation of the depth of anaesthesia from interacting physiological oscillators

Kumiko Oshima

Nowadays, physiological monitoring is imperative for the safety of medical operations. However, systems which monitor the depth of anaesthesia are still far from reliable, such that still some patients may experience the trauma of remaining conscious under ...
