The Evidence - Anaesthesia - BBC Sounds What happens to our brains and our consciousness when we’re put to sleep?

A pleasure to join a BBC world service The Evidence panel at
@wellcomecollection.bsky.social on anaesthesia & consciousness. Great discussion with

The neural correlates of shared and individual experience - Communications Biology The authors find a correspondence between dynamic ratings of subjective experience and brain network dynamics during a naturalistic auditory story. They then explore which networks differentially supp...

Consciousness is personal. Awake story listening fMRI shows that default mode network dynamics diverge across individuals, supporting personal experience, while auditory & attention networks stay aligned, underpinning shared experience. #Neuroscience #Consciousness

Advancing consciousness science Defining new directions in consciousness research and exploring implications for medicine, technology, and ethics

In an article for Frontiers in Science that ended up taking almost five years to compose, @anilseth.bsky.social @liadmudrik.bsky.social and I take stock of consciousness science, consider avenues of progress, and ask “what if we succeed?”

Congratulations to the winners

Just one month to go until ASSC 2025 @assc28.bsky.social. @ademertzi.bsky.social, Eleni Vasilaki, Symvoli.com and I are excited to welcome everyone to cccc.gr/en. Pictures below are from the conference dinner venue at lyrarakis.com/en/home. #consciousness

The amnesic effects of propofol on functional connectivity in the hippocampus determined by functional magnetic resonance imaging in volunteers One of the primary actions of general anaesthetic agents, apart from inducing a state of unconsciousness, is reversible impairment of memory formation during the period of administration. Failure to i...

In addition to causing unconsciousness, anaesthetics temporarily disrupt memory formation in a reversible manner. We explored the hippocampus’ role in this process. www.bjanaesthesia.org/article/S000...

For those interested in registering in tutorials, tomorrow the registration page will contain information about which tutorials will take place in the morning and which in the afternoon.

We aim to begin sending acceptance letters for oral and poster presentations on Wednesday, March 26. Nearly there! #ASSC28 #ASSC2025.
