Scientists a step closer to understanding how anaesthetics work in the brain

An important clue to how anaesthetics work on the human body has been
provided by the discovery of a molecular feature common to both the
human brain and the great pond snail nervous system, scientists say

development of new anaesthetics with fewer side effects......
