Aging Problems
Evaluation of the EEG Connectivity Using Predominant Dexmedetomidine as Anesthetic in Fragile Brains
Elderly brains that present a lower intrinsic cortical activity are very dependent on arousal feeding. In these patients, a strong blockade of afferences generates a synchronic state with a high tendency to sleep.
