Flumazenil binds to GABA receptors and blocks diazepam.  So since we don&amp;#x27;t know of another (i.e. mechatronic) way that binding to GABA would cause sedation, it must be the frobbles.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>New research on anesthesia and microtubules gives new clues about consciousness</title><url>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/09/240905120923.htm</url></story>
