We are currently conducting research to better understand what factors allow or prevent memory formation and conditioned responses while sedated with intravenous anesthetic agents and experiencing periodic pain. Understanding the interaction between these two elements may allow future anesthetics to more precisely prevent the formation of, potentially harmful, memories during painful procedures.
