Brainstem stimulation augments information integration in the cerebral cortex of desflurane-anesthetized rats

States of consciousness have been associated with information integration in the brain as modulated by anesthesia and the ascending arousal system. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that electrical stimulation of the oral part of the pontine reticular nucleus (PnO) can augment in...
