Abstract

Since their introduction 150 yr ago, volatile anesthetics have revolutionized the practice of medicine. However, it is not clearly understood how the volatile anesthetics produce any of their most profound effects: loss of consciousness, amnesia, and lack of perception of pain. This uncertainty is greatly accentuated by the large number of potential targets that are affected by volatile anesthetics (1,2,3).
