Abstract: The mechanisms regulating the control of consciousness in both spontaneous sleep–wake behaviour and general anaesthesia remain poorly understood and are a fundamental question in neuroscience. The last 30 years have identified numerous molecular substrates and more recently important monoaminergic neuronal substrates. Future work now needs to concentrate on elucidating the convergence of these neuronal circuits to build a unifying mechanism of consciousness control.
