Local and interregional thalamocortical dynamics show temporally dissociable changes during propofol induced loss of consciousness.

Neuroimage September 14, 2026 Luxin Fan, Xin Wen, Fa Lu et al.

Whether propofol-induced loss of consciousness (LOC) reflects a single thalamocortical transition or involves temporally dissociable local and interregional dynamics remains unclear. Using stereo-electroencephalography recordings from the anterior nucleus of the thalamus, prefrontal cortex, and temporal cortex during anesthesia induction, we quantified permutation entropy, spectral power,...
