What Does Math Have to Do With Anesthesia?
The key thingthat we've been talking about when we were talking about anaesthesia are the oscillations. They have to come about. Somehow we could analyze him as a phenomenon, statistically. And so yet tell you what frequencies, how they change with time, with dose, or what have you. But then there remains the fundamental question of, what did the drugs do at the receptors that caused neurons to change their activity in a way that produced these oscillations? That's what these oscillations are. So all of that can be described mathematically by making some assumptions and using basic biphysics for example. We started studying the basic biph physics of how the oscillations might be produced
