*Texted Brandon about which journals to submit to. '''1st choice: A&A, 2nd choice: Journal for Obstetric Anesthesia'''

*Does TIVA prevent cancer recurrence? Head of Huntsman anesthesia did a cancer anesthesia fellowship and researched this a bit. Though he's now burned out on research, he's the guy to talk to about what's already been done or not.

*Hamilton and I talked about why ketamine causes lasting changes in the brain long after the drug is gone. Is it a change to a gap junction network? '''Is it anti-inflammatory circulating EVs?'''. There are three papers on MedLine related to ketamine and EVs, none of which look (anti-)inflammatory molecules. Do circulating EVs after propofol anesthetic also contain the inflammatory cytokines that are seen after isoflurane?

*Pitched multi-centre trial to Brandon. E-mailed slides in .ppt format to Nina.

*Met w/ Norm about depression research and promotion requirements.
 +
*Lit review of Yohimbine and Naloxone effects on EEG.
 +
*Dug through supplement of 2026 A&A paper to find which anesthetics are most selective for which receptors.
 +
*Thought about Jellyfish, Corral, Hydra

==Mechanisms of Anesthesia==
 
'''Big picture:''' understand the temporospatial and mechanistic 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).

===EEG effects of anesthetic agents===
 
Look at benzos, opioids, precedex, and their respective reversal agents. Also caffeine, methylphenidate, and methohexital. In MedLine, combine each agent with the search term Electroencephalography/ and add limits for Adults, Humans, and English. Which drugs are most target selective? What are their EEG effects?
