Disconnecting Consciousness during General Anesthesia

and Related States 

 

 * Speaker : Prof. George Mashour ( University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor)

 * Place : 512 Conference room, APCTP Headquarters

 * Date & Time : June  16 (Wed.)  1:30  ~  2:30 pm

 

*  Abstract: 

 In this talk I will discuss how general anesthesia and
  related states can aid in understanding the mechanisms of human 
  consciousness. My main focus will be on the importance of neural 
  information integration for consciousness and how it is disrupted 
  under  general anesthesia. However, I will also discuss the potentially
  common mechanism of cognitive unbinding during anesthesia, sleep, vegetative states,
and    psychopathology.
