Anesthesia & Analgesia ():10.1213/ANE.0000000000007649, July 31, 2025. doi:10.1213/ANE.0000000000007649 SummaryXia and colleagues used widefield cortical imaging in Thy1-GCaMP6s mice to examine how different anesthetics alter cortical dynamics during loss of consciousness. They found that ketamine, propofol, and isoflurane all enhanced 1.5–2.5 Hz oscillations in the retrosplenial cortex (RSC), a region showing […]
