The GABAergic Parafacial Zone: Integrating Consciousness and Respiratory Control in Sevoflurane Anesthesia

Authors: Luo L, et al. Anesthesiology ():10.1097/ALN.0000000000005735, August 28, 2025. doi:10.1097/ALN.0000000000005735 This mouse study investigated whether the parafacial zone (PZ), a GABAergic sleep-promoting region, serves as a common neural node responsible for anesthetic-induced unconsciousness and respiratory depression. By combining chemogenetic and optogenetic approaches, the authors selectively modulated PZ GABAergic neurons and evaluated anesthetic sensitivity, cortical […]
