Astrocytes critically regulate states of consciousness, yet their molecular profiles across wake, sleep, and general anesthesia remain unclear. This study conducted proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of rat cortical astrocytes across these states using sevoflurane. Data quality was validated using principal component analysis (PCA) and Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC). Proteomics...
Patients with lesions in the visual cortex are blind in corresponding regions of the visual field, but they still may process visual information, a phenomenon referred to as residual vision or "blindsight". Here we report behavioral and fMRI observations with a patient who reports conscious vision across an extended area of blindness for moving, but not for stationary stimuli. This completion...
