Xu and Tang Research Team Shows the Brain May Retain Cellular Memory of Odors Introduced Under Anesthesia
Posted on March 26, 2014“Cellular Registration without Behavioral Recall of Olfactory Sensory Input under General Anesthesia” (Samuelsson AR, Brandon NR, Tang P, Xu Y. Anesthesiology 2014; 120(4):890-905) reveals new findings that suggest the brain receives and registers sensory information at the cellular level while anesthetized without behavioral reporting of the same information after recovering from anesthesia. In the study, rats were exposed to a specific odor while under general anesthesia.
