Update on the Mechanism and Treatment of Sevoflurane-Induced Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction
TLDR
The diagnosis of postoperative cognitive dysfunction is reviewed, animal models of POCD are introduced in clinical research, the possible mechanisms of sevoflurane-induced P OCD are analyzed, and advances in treatment for this condition are summarized.

Propofol and Sevoflurane Depress Spinal Neurons In Vitro via Different Molecular Targets
TLDR
Evidence is provided that sevoflurane causes immobility by a mechanism distinct from the actions of the intravenous anesthetic propofol, and glycine and GABAA receptors are the most important molecular targets mediating depressant effects of sev ofluranes in the spinal cord.
Direct Activation of Sleep-Promoting VLPO Neurons by Volatile Anesthetics Contributes to Anesthetic Hypnosis
α2-Adrenergic Stimulation of the Ventrolateral Preoptic Nucleus Destabilizes the Anesthetic State
TLDR
It is concluded that local modulation of α-adrenergic activity in the VLPO destabilizes, but does not fully antagonize, the anesthetic state, thus priming the brain for anesthetic emergence.
Ethanol inhibits histaminergic neurons in mouse tuberomammillary nucleus slices via potentiating GABAergic transmission onto the neurons at both pre- and postsynaptic sites
TLDR
Ethanol inhibits the excitability of histaminergic neurons in mouse TMN slices, possibly via potentiating GABAergic transmission onto the neurons at both pre- and postsynaptic sites.
Involvement of Tuberomamillary Histaminergic Neurons in Isoflurane Anesthesia
TLDR
Findings suggest a role of the TMN histaminergic neurons in modulating isoflurane anesthesia and that the neural circuits for isofLurane-induced hypnosis may differ from those of &ggr;-aminobutyric acid-mediated anesthetics and ketamine.
Isoflurane abolishes spontaneous firing of serotonin neurons and masks their pH/CO₂ chemosensitivity.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that isoflurane masks 5-HT neuron chemosensitivity in vitro and in situ and markedly decreases the hypercapnic ventilatory response in vivo.
Propofol modulates phasic and tonic GABAergic currents in spinal ventral horn interneurones.
TLDR
The present results suggest that the involvement of a tonic inhibition might contribute to the efficacy of propofol to depress nociceptive reflexes at high concentrations of the anaesthetic.
Parabrachial complex links pain transmission to descending pain modulation
TLDR
Data show that a substantial component of “bottom-up” nociceptive drive to RVM pain-modulating neurons is relayed through the parabrachial complex, which is well known as an important relay for ascending nocICEptive information.
The effects of volatile anesthetics on synaptic and extrasynaptic GABA-induced neurotransmission
Sevoflurane activates hippocampal CA3 kainate receptors (Gluk2) to induce hyperactivity during induction and recovery in a mouse model
TLDR
A novel mouse model was developed and the kainate (GluK2) receptor antagonist attenuated these sevoflurane-induced hyperactivities in vivo, suggesting that kainates receptors might be the underlying therapeutic targets for sev oflURane- induced hyperactivITIES in general anaesthesia.
