A Common Neuroendocrine Substrate for Diverse General Anesthetics and Sleep

A Common Neuroendocrine Substrate for Diverse General Anesthetics and Sleep, Jiang-Xie et al. identified a specific group of hypothalamic neurons (AANs) commonly activated by multiple classes of general anesthetics. Stimulation of AANs potentiates slow-wave sleep and general anesthesia (GA), whereas inhibition of AANs disrupts natural sleep and destabilizes GA., Jiang-Xie et al. identified a specific group of hypothalamic neurons (AANs) commonly activated by multiple classes of general anesthetics.
