Breakdown of within- and between-network Resting State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Connectivity during Propofol-induced Loss of Consciousness (2010, background): “At the brain level, several studies have shown widespread decreases in resting brain metabolism and cerebral activation in response to stimuli, especially in the cortex, thalamus, and midbrain.(1,5,6) Brainstem sleep-promoting neurons have also been shown to be potentially involved in the mechanisms”
Molecular and neuronal substrates for general anaesthetics (2004, background): “Since that pioneering time, anaesthetic practice has changed significantly, in that general anaesthesia is rarely achieved by a single agent but by a combination of general anaesthetics and other agents such as muscle relaxants, analgesics and sedative”
