*Big picture: understand the temporospatial changes in neural activity induced by various anesthetics. Can we recapitulate those with steerable, low latency, closed-loop non-invasive neuromodulation or use this knowledge to drive discovery of novel drugs?

*High-throughput screen of anesthetics (and anesthetic reversal agents) in C.elegans. I could work in parallel in a different organism (e.g. yeast, jellyfish, hydra, sea anemones, corral, bacteria, plants, neuronal explants).

*Based on 30 years of in vitro studies (n>300), most anesthetics exhibit similar potency across a range of receptors. Most receptors are non-selective for ligands. What this paper addresses but doesn't answer is whether the receptors are present at the correct locations and necessary to the anesthetic behavioral response.
