Distinct effects of global signal regression on brain activity during propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia by Fa Lu, Fa Lu, Lunxu Li, Juan Wang, Juan Wang, Xuanling Chen, Ho-Ching Yang, Xiaoli Li, Lan Yao, Zhenhu Liang, Zhenhu Liang

“…IntroductionGlobal signal regression (GSR) is widely used in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis, yet its effects on anesthetic-related brain activity are not well understood.MethodsUsing fMRI data from patients under general anesthesia, we analyzed temporal variability indices, amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations, functional connectivity, and graph theoretical measures with and without GSR.ResultsHere we show that GSR differentially affects brain activity patterns during propofol- and sevoflurane-induced unconsciousness. …”
