We present a narrative review focusing on the new role of nociception monitor in
intraoperative anesthetic management. Higher invasiveness of surgery elicits a higher …

Opioid-free anesthesia: a different regard to anesthesia practice : Current Opinion in …

General anesthesia reversibly alters consciousness, without shutting down the brain
globally. Depending on the anesthetic agent and dose, it may produce different …

Establishing the neural mechanisms responsible for the altered global states of
consciousness during anesthesia and dissociating these from other drug-related effects …

In recent years, technical and procedural advances have brought functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) to the field of murine neuroscience. Due to its unique capacity to …

Anesthetics are known to disrupt neural interactions in cortical and subcortical brain circuits.
While the effect of anesthetic drugs on consciousness is reversible, the neural mechanism …

Consciousness is a mental characteristic of the human mind, whose exact neural features
remain unclear. We aimed to identify the critical nodes within the brain's global functional …

Empathetic verbal feedback from others has been shown to alleviate the intensity of
experimental pain. To investigate the brain changes associated with this effect, we …

Background The safety of anaesthesia has improved as a result of better control of
anaesthetic depth. However, conventional monitoring does not inform on the nature of …

Background During clinical anaesthesia, the administration of analgesics mostly relies on
empirical knowledge and observation of the patient's reactions to noxious stimuli. Previous …
