Background: The integrated information theory (IIT) of consciousness introduces a measure
Φ to quantify consciousness in a physical system. Directly related to this, general anesthesia …

The fragmentation of the functional brain network has been identified through the functional
connectivity (FC) analysis in studies investigating anesthesia-induced loss of consciousness …

With appropriate radiotracers, positron emission tomography (PET) allows direct or indirect
monitoring of the spatial and temporal distribution of anesthetics, neurotransmitters, and …

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated that changes in brain information
processing during anesthetic-induced loss of consciousness (LOC) might be influenced by …

Anesthetic-induced loss of consciousness (LOC) has been studied using functional
connectivity (FC) and functional network analysis (FNA), manifested as fragmentation of the …

To investigate mechanisms underlying loss of consciousness, it is important to extend
methods established in humans to rodents as well. Perturbational complexity index (PCI) is …

Objective. General anesthesia (GA) can induce reversible loss of consciousness.
Nonetheless, the electroencephalography (EEG) characteristics of patients with minimally …

Proper monitoring of anesthesia stages can guarantee the safe performance of clinical
surgeries. In this study, different anesthesia stages were classified using near-infrared …

Abstract Background and Objective Numerous factors, including demographic
characteristics, have been implicated in modulating individual sensitivity to propofol; …

Objective We compared the effective networks derived from Single Pulse Electrical
Stimulation (SPES) in intracranial electrocorticography (ECoG) of awake epilepsy patients …
