DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nUNCOVERING THE MECHANISMS OF GENERAL ANESTHESIA: WH
 ERE NEUROSCIENCE\nMEETS STATISTICS\n\n-------------------------\n\nGeneral
  anesthesia is a drug-induced\, reversible condition involving\nunconsciou
 sness\, amnesia (loss of memory)\, analgesia (loss of pain\nsensation)\, a
 kinesia (immobility)\, and hemodynamic stability. I will\ndescribe a prima
 ry mechanism through which anesthetics create these\naltered states of aro
 usal. Our studies have allowed us to give a\ndetailed characterization of 
 the neurophysiology of loss and recovery\nof consciousness​\, in the cas
 e of propofol\, and we have demonstrated\n​​ that the state of general
  anesthesia can be rapidly reversed by\nactivating specific brain circuits
 . The success of our research has\ndepended critically on tight coupling o
 f experiments\, ​statistical\nsignal processing​​ and mathematical m
 odeling.\n
