Summary Gamma oscillations (∼ 30–150 Hz) are widespread correlates of neural circuit
functions. These network activity patterns have been described across multiple animal …

There have been a number of advances in the search for the neural correlates of
consciousness—the minimum neural mechanisms sufficient for any one specific conscious …

Après Descartes, les sciences cognitives et les neurosciences se mobilisent pour tenter de
répondre à ces questions: comment l'évolution biologique et génétique a-t-elle produit cette …

The N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist ketamine has attracted enormous
interest in mental health research owing to its rapid antidepressant actions, but its …

A thought-provoking argument that consciousness—more widespread than previously
assumed—is the feeling of being alive, not a type of computation or a clever hack In The …

For over a century, the neuron doctrine—which states that the neuron is the structural and
functional unit of the nervous system—has provided a conceptual foundation for …

The problem of consciousness continues to be a subject of great debate in cognitive
science. Synthesizing decades of research, The Conscious Brain advances a new theory of …

At any one moment, many neuronal groups in our brain are active. Microelectrode
recordings have characterized the activation of single neurons and fMRI has unveiled brain …

Classical theories of sensory processing view the brain as a passive, stimulus-driven device.
By contrast, more recent approaches emphasize the constructive nature of perception …

This introductory chapter attempts to clarify the philosophical, empirical, and theoretical
bases on which a cognitive neuroscience approach to consciousness can be founded. We …
