   Analysis of stochastic fluctuations in responsiveness is a critical step toward personalized anesthesia

   Andrew R McKinstry-Wu et al.

   Responses to anesthetics differ among individuals and fluctuate stochastically despite constant drug concentration, however, the amount of noise driving transitions between the responsive and the unresponsive state is conserved.
