Description
Steven McGuigan, Andria Pelentritou, David A Scott, and Jamie Sleigh find that xenon anaesthesia slows a frontal brain rhythm in a 2024 study. Standard anaesthetics share that slowing, and cell models can mirror it, hinting at shared machinery.
Brain wave caps recorded eleven trial patients and twenty one volunteers, awake and under xenon. The peak alpha pace dropped clearly in both groups under the gas. Two neuron models then tested xenon's known cell targets, a gated channel and excitatory signaling. The modeled effects fit the observed slowing, backing the link between cell action and rhythm shift.
