Overview Our lab has previously shown that the lasting cognitive deficit observed after early anesthesia exposure is sex-dependent in rodents. Postnatal male rats exposed to volatile anesthesia had worse behavioral outcomes in recognition tasks than exposed female littermates, suggesting an underlying sex-specific mechanism of anesthetic neurotoxicity. We subsequently described how females are effected at an earlier age and the role of testosterone in extending the vulnerable period in males.
