Here's a paper (attached) we just published in Nature - Scientific Reports, and a press release describing it, about how anesthesia works. It's very supportive of the theory Roger Penrose and I have developed. I'll also send something about our conference next April 2-7 in Tucson. Hope you can come. Hi from Betsy! best, Stuart http://www.newswise.com/articles/consciousness-depends-on-tubulin-vibrations-inside-neurons-anesthesia- study-suggests Consciousness Depends on Tubulin Vibrations Inside Neurons, Anesthesia Study Suggests www.newswise.com Anesthetic gases selectively block consciousness, sparing non-conscious brain activities. Thus the specific mechanism of anesthetic action could reveal how the brain produces consciousness. EFTA00664987
