Suppressing the Mind Anesthetic Modulation of Memory and Consciousness

From the reviews:

“The editors present this book as the first book with a unified view of studies on anaesthetic modulation on both consciousness and memory to bridge molecular, cellular, integrative, and systems-level effects. … even the heavy technical information in the book is written in the style for a wider audience ― such as the JCS/Tucson toward-a-science-of-consciousness crowd.” (Bill Faw, Journal of Consciousness Studies, Vol. 18 (3-4), 2011)

“This is a compilation of 10 essays on the neuroscientific underpinnings of general anesthesia. … intended for anesthesia researchers, but the quality and the clarity of the writing make it accessible and interesting for anyone involved in clinical anesthesia care. … I found this book extremely enlightening. The authors have successfully presented the current state of scientific understanding in a way that appeals to clinical practitioners. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of how general anesthetics work.” (David B. Glick, Doody’s Review Service, May, 2010)
