Modulation of Pain Sensitivity by the Locus Coeruleus–Paraventricular Thalamic Nucleus–Anterior Cingulate Cortex Pathway in Mice

Authors: Kuai S et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):943–964, April 2026 Summary:This study investigates how higher brain circuits regulate pain, focusing on a specific pathway connecting the locus coeruleus (LC), paraventricular thalamic nucleus (PVA), and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). While the LC is known to modulate pain through noradrenergic signaling, the exact organization of its downstream pathways […]

Strengthening the Evidence on Intraoperative Occult Hypoxemia

Authors: Wang W et al. Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2026. Strengthening the Evidence on Intraoperative Occult Hypoxemia. This letter to the editor discusses methodological considerations related to a recent study examining intraoperative occult hypoxemia and its association with postoperative mortality. Occult hypoxemia refers to a condition in which arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry appears […]
