Anesthetics Affect Signaling Pathway in Brain Development

The impact of general anesthetics on brain development has been a cause for concern. Researchers conducted experiments using different anesthetic agents on cultured cortical cells and postnatal mice to investigate the shared signaling pathway responsible for the effects of anesthesia. They discovered that all anesthetic agents tested reduced phosphorylation of the ribosomal protein S6, a […]
