The study of plasticity processes, in particular, memory, is one of the fundamental
directions in anesthesiology. To date, there are different views on the impact of sedation
and anesthesia on memory. Memory consolidation is one of the most crucial processes that the
anesthesiologist is interested in. Memory consolidation is the mechanism of transferring
short-term memory to long-term memory. The investigators suppose that propofol or
dexmedetomidine sedation disrupts memory consolidation. In addition, the investigators
inquired about the impact of sedation on 'working memory'. Therefore, a better understanding
of the influence of anesthesia and sedation on basic memory processes will allow the
anesthesiologist to balance the choice of the drug and ensure the patient's safety in the
intraoperative period.
