DESCRIPTION:UNCOVERING THE MECHANISMS OF GENERAL ANESTHESIA: WHERE NEUROSCI
 ENCE\nMEETS STATISTICS\n\n-------------------------\n\nGeneral anesthesia 
 is a drug-induced\, reversible condition involving\nunconsciousness\, amne
 sia (loss of memory)\, analgesia (loss of pain\nsensation)\, akinesia (imm
 obility)\, and hemodynamic stability. I will\ndescribe a primary mechanism
  through which anesthetics create these\naltered states of arousal. Our st
 udies have allowed us to give a\ndetailed characterization of the neurophy
 siology of loss and recovery\nof consciousness​\, in the case of propofo
 l\, and we have demonstrated\n​​ that the state of general anesthesia 
 can be rapidly reversed by\nactivating specific brain circuits. The succes
 s of our research has\ndepended critically on tight coupling of experiment
 s\, ​statistical\nsignal processing​​ and mathematical modeling.
