How Anesthesia Knocks You Out

How the fuck does anesthesia knock you the fuck out? Here's the deal. Anesthesia drugs

like propofol bind to GABA-A receptors in your dumbass brain. GABA is your brain's

main chill-the-fuck-out neurotransmitter, and these drugs hijack that shit. When propofol latches

onto these receptors, it cranks up inhibition so fucking hard that it creates a paradox.

Your inhibitory neurons start inhibiting OTHER inhibitory neurons, causing disinhibition.

This throws your brain into chaotic instability between excitation and stability, and BAM - you're

fucking unconscious. Your brain operates on a knife's edge between excitability and chaos,

and anesthesia just shoves you off that edge. Follow Doctor Bold for more about your
