Brain state and cortical layer-specific mechanisms underlying perception at threshold

Posted by klaurent UCSD / Salk, Yale

Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy, John Reynolds | Authors: Mitchell P Morton, Sachira Denagamage, Isabel J Blume, John H Reynolds, Monika P Jadi and Anirvan S Nandy | Summary: Identical stimuli can be perceived or go unnoticed across successive presentations, producing divergent behavioral outcomes despite similarities in sensory input. We sought to understand how fluctuations in […]

Hypothalamic CRH Neurons Modulate Sevoflurane Anesthesia and The Post-anesthesia Stress Responses

Posted by klaurent Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Min | Authors: Shan Jiang, Lu Chen, Wei-Min Qu, Zhi-Li Huang and Chang-Rui Chen | Summary: General anesthesia is a fundamental process required to undertake safely and humanely a high fraction of surgeries and invasive diagnostic procedures. However, the undesired stress response associated with general anesthesia (GA) causes delayed recovery and even […]
