Propofol-induced loss of responsiveness reorganizes cortical traveling waves in the human brain

2026-05-05

Abstract excerpt

Consciousness depends on the coordinated propagation of neural activity across cortical networks. Traveling waves, the spatiotemporal patterns of phase-aligned neural activity, are thought to support large-scale cortical communication, yet how these dynamics are altered during general anesthesia remains poorly understood. Here, we examined the effects of propofol on cortical traveling waves recorded with high-dens...
