This chapter presents a comprehensive hypothesis relating to the function of the claustrum
derived from the original Crick-Koch hypothesis. We suggest that it is concerned with …

The mechanism of loss of consciousness (LOC) under anesthesia is unknown. Because
consciousness depends on activity in the cortico-thalamic network, anesthetic actions on this …

How are sequences of events that are temporarily stored in a cognitive working memory
unitized, or chunked, through learning? Such sequential learning is needed by the brain in …

Both attentional signals from frontal cortex and neuromodulatory signals from basal
forebrain (BF) have been shown to influence information processing in the primary visual …

A neural model proposes how entorhinal grid cells and hippocampal place cells may
develop as spatial categories in a hierarchy of self-organizing maps (SOMs). The model …

Background Cannabis use is associated with the development of psychotic symptoms and
increased risk for schizophrenia. The mismatch negativity (MMN) is a brain event-related …

Learning to ignore irrelevant stimuli is essential to achieving efficient and fluid attention, and
serves as the complement to increasing attention to relevant stimuli. The different cholinergic …

This article shows how visual illusions arise from neural processes that play an adaptive role
in achieving the remarkable perceptual capabilities of advanced brains. The article clarifies …

Der Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit besteht darin, aufbauend auf dem (Haupt-) Thema,
der Darlegung und Untersuchung der Lösung des Bindungsproblems anhand von …

Understanding the behavior of the retino-thalamo-cortico-collicular (ie early) visual system in
a natural images situation is of utmost importance to understand what further happens in the …
