Brain immune cells drive recovery from ketamine anesthesia in females

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260731/Brain-immune-cells-drive-recovery-from-ketamine-anesthesia-in-females.aspx During ketamine anesthesia, the brain's nerve cells fall silent-as consciousness returns, they begin to reconnect. For the first time, researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have shown that immune cells in the brain play a critical role in this process-with differences between female and male brains. The findings were published in Science Advances
