Abstract

Accurate anesthesia monitoring remains challenging because current approaches primarily assess consciousness while overlooking nociceptive processing. Although electroencephalography (EEG)-based metrics such as permutation entropy (PE) and permutation cross-mutual information (PCMI) are widely used, nociceptive-evoked cortical responses, especially gamma-band oscillations (GBOs), a robust index of nociceptive intensity, are rarely incorporated into anesthesia assessment. Here, we recorded electrocorticography from 23 rats under isoflurane anesthesia with nociceptive laser stimulation during both induction and emergence. We extracted GBOs, PE, and PCMI to evaluate their sensitivity to anesthesia states. GBOs and PE tracked nociceptive-related changes during induction, whereas PCMI was more sensitive during emergence. Integrating these multidimensional features, an unsupervised k-means framework identified four latent states: awake, shallow anesthesia, moderate anesthesia, and burst suppression. These findings establish nociceptive-evoked cortical responses as label-free markers and provide a scalable foundation for real-time, closed-loop anesthesia monitoring that jointly assesses consciousness and analgesia.

Tracing map

Proposed by the machine: these links were found in the paper and verified at the source, without human review. The map will receive a Zenodo DOI once one of the paper's authors has validated it with their ORCID.

What the map holds:

  • 1 repository of the authors' code, each at its verified commit, with its license and how the link was found in the paper;
  • 8 scripts, each with its path and the digest of its content;
  • 3 matches between paragraphs of the paper and lines of the code (method lexical-v1);
  • neither the text of the paper nor the code itself.

Its JSON (tracing-map.json) is deposited on Zenodo with its DOI once the map is validated.
