Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have invented special Bispectral Index monitoring device, capable attached on the scalps for the species such as rat or gerbil in case of of basic animal experiments. The device can reveal the clear EEG wave and BIS related values precisely from rats and gerbil, but not from mice. The data under inhaled anesthesia obtained from these rodents completely mimicked what those reported in human. For example, BIS value went down depending on the increasing of inhaled anesthetic concentration with sigmoid curve. With the device, BIS value could shortly follow cerebral ischemia or hypoxia caused by the experimental cerebral ischemia model in rats and gerbil.
