Anesthesia and Neurotoxicity Research
Description: This cluster of papers focuses on the neurotoxic effects of anesthetic agents, particularly during early development, leading to neuronal apoptosis, cognitive impairment, and altered synaptic plasticity. The research explores the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes and potential learning disabilities associated with early exposure to general anesthetics, highlighting concerns about the impact on brain development.
