Abstract:

The paraventricular thalamic nucleus (PVT) is a key nucleus involved in wakefulness. PVT plays an important role in normal sleep-wake regulation, but its role may vary during anesthesia depending on the stage of anesthesia. This article will review the role of PVT in sleep and anesthesia based on its wakefulness function neural pathways.

Key words: paraventricular thalamic nucleus, general anesthesia, sleep, wakefulness, consciousness
