Chemical and Biochemical Approaches for the Study of Anesthetic Function, Part B, Volume 603, presents a coherent description of the campaign towards understanding anesthesia. It includes a variety of highly debated topics, including sections on computational approaches, best practices for simulating ligand-gated ion channels interacting with general anesthetics, computational approaches for studying voltage-gated ion channels modulation by general anesthetics, anesthetic parameterization, the kinetic modeling of electrophysiology data, evolving biophysical technologies, fluorescent anesthetics, lipids, membranes and pressure reversal, in vivo technologies, and more.
