Mechanisms of Loss, Recovery and Disorders of Consciousness
PROJECT SUMMARY The long-term objective of this proposal is to understand cortical mechanisms underlying loss, recovery, and disorders of consciousness. We have previously characterized neural activity associated with different stages of general anesthesia and sleep. Each of these stages is composed of distinct states of arousal and awareness, such as fluctuations between dreaming and unconsciousness. Finding neural underpinnings of these processes is necessary for understanding the neural basis of consciousness. This proposal takes advantage of the unique opportunity to directly record from the human brain in neurosurgical epilepsy patients. We will use intracranial electroencephalography…
