Frequency-specific microstate correlates of ciprofol-induced alterations of consciousness.

Frontiers in Neuroscience 2026 Fei Yan, Yansong Li, Ni Xiong et al.

Ciprofol is a novel GABAergic intravenous anesthetic with a rapid onset and favorable safety profile; however, the neural mechanisms underlying the induction and reversal of unconsciousness remain unclear. Electroencephalogram (EEG) microstates provide millisecond-scale markers of large-scale brain network dynamics and may reveal frequency-specific signatures of ciprofol' s effects on...
