Cortical Acetylcholine Levels Correlate With Neurophysiologic Complexity During Subanesthetic Ketamine and Nitrous Oxide Exposure in Rats

AUTHORS: Brito, Michael A. PhD et al  Anesthesia & Analgesia: June 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 6 – p 1126-1139 BACKGROUND: Neurophysiologic complexity has been shown to decrease during states characterized by a depressed level of consciousness, such as sleep or anesthesia.
