We selected a handful of materials for you to be able to get a better understanding of our research questions in our lab. Here they are:
These two chapters include extensive information regarding sleep, I would focus on these documents the most:

From the side of the top-down versus bottom-up project, as you will need an in-depth knowledge of anesthetics, here is a review paper:
From the side of preoperative anxiety and postoperative delirium project, as we are currently using a cued fear conditioning paradigm, here is a textbook chapter that describes this method:
This textbook shows various techniques that we frequently use in our lab. It has a lot of information about other techniques which might not be of immediate interest. However, there are different chapters discussing most techniques that we use in our research group. Here is an overview of what is relevant for us:
| Electrophysiology: | Page Number 37, Page number 105-112 |
| Stereotaxic Surgeries and In Vivo Techniques: | Page Number 89-95 |
| Measuring Neural Activity In vivo: | Page Number 97-98, Page Number 128-129 |
| Visualizing Neural Structure (Focus on Nissl stain): | Page Number 161-167 |
Note: The page numbers are the pdf page numbers and not the page numbers on the article.
