(Case Western Reserve University) A promising study out today in the prestigious Journal of Neurosciences showed that in a mouse model of Rett syndrome, researchers were able to reverse abnormalities in brain activity and improve neurological function by treating the animals with an FDA-approved anesthesia drug, ketamine. Rett syndrome is among the most severe autism-related disorders, affecting about one in 10,000 female births per year, with no effective treatments available.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used to investigate human and laboratory animal brain reward function using a variety of experimental paradigms. The most popular functional imaging technique relies on the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) contrast mechanism first reported in the anesthetized rat by Seiji Ogawa and coworkers in the early 1990s. A significant advantage of fMRI is that it allows a functional characterization of the awake rodent brain under different treatment and pharmacological conditions. We have performed fMRI of the neural actions of cocaine in awake male and female rats and the la...

Inhaled analgesia during labour involves the self-administered inhalation of sub-anaesthetic concentrations of agents while the mother remains awake and her protective laryngeal reflexes remain intact. Most of the agents are easy to administer, can be started in less than a minute and become effective within a minute.

In a new study, a light-sensitive moiety has been added to propofol, a commonly used anesthetic, allowing its narcotic effect to be controlled by light. The compound also offers a possible route to the treatment of certain eye diseases. Inhibitory neurotransmitters dampen the activity of neurons. This regulatory effect forms the basis for the action of many anesthetics. For example, propofol, a common anesthetic, interacts with receptors on neural cell membranes that normally bind the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA)...

Conclusion
This research has caught the attention of the media, but the findings do not mean that people should feel free to eat a diet high in saturated fats even if they are doing so at restricted times of the day. Animal research such as this can be a useful indication of how biological processes may work in humans, but humans and mice are not the same. Looking at a direct comparison, the restricted feeding time related to mice having oily meals available between four and eight hours after the lights were turned on each day. This can hardly be seen to directly reflect a human eating three high-fat meals a day and not sn...
