of consciousness.Low - frequency spontaneous blood oxygen level - dependent fluctuations were measured in 19 healthy volunteers during wakefulness, mild sedation, deep sedation with clinical unconsciousness, and subsequent recovery
of consciousness.Propofol - induced decrease in consciousness linearly correlates with decreased corticocortical and
thalamocortical connectivity in frontoparietal networks (i.e., default - and executive - control networks).
