How does anesthesia work to make people unconscious? What’s the exact mechanism of it? It seems really fascinating so I’d like to hear your thoughts and knowledge on this.
In: Biology
The truth is that how exactly anesthesia works is not well understood.
Every few years you get another excited paper by a person or team who thinks they have cracked this issue, but so far there doesn’t appear to be a generally accepted solution to the question.
If someone tells you that they have solved it and know exactly how anesthesia works and that they can prove it, ask them to see the Nobel Prize they got for figuring that out.
