And then if someone gives you anesthesia...

Radiolab

Like in a matter of a second, your connectivity just collapses.

Radiolab

Maybe that's what happened to you.

Radiolab

It just cut.

Radiolab

Your connectivity got cut.

Radiolab

It did.

And here is the weird part.

Radiolab

Scientists will like play a sound to somebody who's under with anesthesia.

Radiolab

And they can see that actually the part of the brain that processes sound, the auditory cortex, is active.

Radiolab
Black Box

It takes in the sound.

Radiolab
Black Box

So your brain is hearing sounds.

Radiolab
Black Box

That's spooky.

Radiolab

Radiolab

So what could be happening is that when you're under anesthesia, all the different parts of your brain, to some degree, they could be awake.

Radiolab

It's not that your brain is just stopping.

Radiolab

Radiolab
Black Box

They're just not talking to each other.

Radiolab
Black Box

Very well anymore.

Radiolab
