| Abstract (English): |
To define consciousness per se, involves a great difficulty because of its essence and the huge complexity regarding the great number of its components and the processes within. Consciousness, as a human characteristic, has been matter of large researching not only through a scientific approach, but also from the perspective of philosophic, religious, ethics investigations among others, including the distinction between consciousness and awareness. The trouble to define the foundation of consciousness implies a great challenge to get to know, what is happening during the anesthesia period. Through the understanding that has been accomplished by way of investigations concerning the different and complex functions of diverse neural structures such as the brain stem reticular formation, the thalamus, some parts of the striatum and the cerebral cortex among others, how they become connected by the neuronal nets who are compounded by nodes that have not only specific but a wide array of functions, capable of interconnect all these encephalic structures, even though they are far away, we know now with a good amount of certainty, where, how and how much the integrity of consciousness can be affected as a consequence of the different anesthetics effect.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
. La definición de consciencia en sí encierra una gran dificultad por su esencia y la inmensa complejidad de los numerosos componentes y procesos que la conforman. La consciencia como característica inherente al ser humano ha sido objeto de numerosos estudios y tratados, no sólo científicos, sino además filosóficos, religiosos, éticos, etcétera. Esto también incluye la diferencia entre consciencia y conciencia. La dificultad para poder establecer el principio que da origen a la consciencia, representa, por lo tanto, un gran reto para poder dilucidar con certeza lo que sucede con ésta durante el evento anestésico. Gracias al entendimiento que se va logrando a través de las investigaciones concernientes a las funciones de diferentes y complejas estructuras, tales como la substancia activadora reticular ascendente, el tálamo, partes del cuerpo estriado y la corteza cerebral, entre otras, que se relacionan gracias a la existencia de redes neuronales, integradas a su vez por nodos con funciones específicas y a la vez variadas, capaces de intercomunicar estas estructuras encefálicas, aun estando distantes, se tiene ahora nociones sólidas de dónde, cómo y cuánto se puede ver afectada la integración de la consciencia como consecuencia del efecto de los diferentes anestésicos.
