A computer model of a network of neurons shows that a sudden breakdown
in the net's ability to transmit information mimics the brain wave
changes that accompany anesthesia.

I think that one possible explaination is that neurochemistry is a very
fragile thing. And solvents, being reactive, can easily throw a wrench into
the whole thing.
But why does anesthesia just disrupt consciousness
into the whole thing.
But why does anesthesia just disrupt consciousness?
Most anesthetics subtly disrupt the operation of neurons so that their
signals don't travel as far or as reliably across the brain. Thus the
complex signaling across distant brain regions may be cut off

OK, that's it, no more diets.

One possible reason for the loss of consciousness I've proposed is it
simply stops the internal time sense. The other possibility of course is
that it disables the specific self-referential circuits that tell an

There are thousands of chemicals that are good organic solvents that aren't
anesthetics. I don't think that has anything to do with it...
