The Medical College of Wisconsin has received a four-year, $1.2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of General Medical Sciences. The project, led by Anthony Hudetz, PhD, professor of anesthesiology, physiology and biophysics, will investigate how general anesthetics suppress and reawaken consciousness.
The research aims to contribute to the development of safer anesthetics and improved monitoring methods for determining the presence or absence of consciousness during anesthesia.
Dr. Hudetz's laboratory specializes in studies of the mechanisms of anesthesia in the brain. In 2011, Dr. Hudetz and his colleagues gathered researchers from 11 countries to Milwaukee for an international symposium on anesthesia research.
