default mode network ↔ anesthesia

Relations (1)

related 2.00 — strongly supporting 3 facts

The default mode network and anesthesia are related because anesthesia induces a loss of consciousness that results in reduced connectivity [1], anterior-posterior disconnection [2], and compromised integrative capacity [3] within the default mode network.

claimThe Default Mode Network (DMN) exhibits compromised information content and integrative capacity during loss of consciousness induced by anesthesia, severe brain injury, and COVID-19.

claimThe loss of consciousness across anaesthesia and disorders of consciousness corresponds to anterior-posterior disconnection between default mode network nodes that act as gateways into the synergistic workspace.

claimFunctional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) resting state studies demonstrate that Default Mode Network (DMN) connectivity is reduced during altered states of consciousness, including sleep, sedation, anesthesia, and hypnotic states.
