Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For a long time, there has been debate about the nature of consciousness. In recent years, the theory that consciousness does not reside in a specific part of the brain but is based on the coordination of the cerebral cortex has been gaining popularity. In addition, the mechanisms of how anesthetics produce unconsciousness have been studied. This Special Issue of Brain Sciences aims to collect studies detailing the most recent advancements in the field of neuroscience and anesthesiology. Topics to be covered include how consciousness is formed and how anesthetics produce unconsciousness? Authors are invited to submit cutting-edge research and reviews that handle topics related to mechanisms of consciousness and unconsciousness induced by anesthetics. In particular, we aim to present articles that handle new analytic methods for electroencephalogram or brain imaging.
