Surgery increases cell death and induces changes in gene expression compared with anesthesia alone in the developing piglet brain.

Surgery increases cell death and induces changes in gene expression compared with anesthesia alone in the developing piglet brain.

In a range of animal species, exposure of the brain to general anaesthesia without surgery during early infancy may adversely affect its neural and cognitive development. The mechanisms mediating this are complex but include an increase in brain cell death. In humans, attempts to link adverse cognit...
