The purpose of this study is to relate changes in the blood flow in your brain which are
measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to temporary changes in your memory and level
of sleepiness while receiving the drug propofol, which is commonly used to induce relaxation
or sleepiness for minor surgical procedures. This study will help provide us information
which will be useful in understanding which parts of the brain are influenced by these drugs
to affect memory and sleepiness.
