研究领域

My central research interest is in understanding how general anaesthetics act. I have worked on this problem mainly at the molecular and cellular levels but more recently I have become interested in how anaesthetics act at the level of neuronal networks and have been pursuing the possibility that the sedative and hypnotic actions of general anaesthetics may be mediated through the same neuronal pathways that control natural sleep. I work closely with Bill Wisden and Stephen Brickley.
