This review provides an update on Neurorepresentationalism, a theoretical framework that
defines conscious experience as multimodal, situational survey and explains its neural basis …

There are three neural feedback pathways to the primary visual cortex (V1): corticocortical,
pulvinocortical, and cholinergic. What are the respective functions of these three …

How is conscious experience related to material brain processes? A variety of theories
aiming to answer this age-old question have emerged from the recent surge in …

In today's society, it becomes increasingly important to assess which non-human and non-
verbal beings possess consciousness. This review article aims to delineate criteria for …

How deep is the current diversity in the panoply of theories to define consciousness, and to
what extent do these theories share common denominators? Here we first examine to what …

In recent years, technical and procedural advances have brought functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) to the field of murine neuroscience. Due to its unique capacity to …

Top-down, feedback projections account for a large portion of all connections between
neurons in the thalamocortical system, yet their precise role remains the subject of much …

The definition of the visual cortex is primarily based on the evidence that lesions of this area
impair visual perception. However, this does not exclude that the visual cortex may process …

Background Assessing consciousness in other subjects, particularly in non-verbal and
behaviourally disabled subjects (eg, patients with disorders of consciousness), is notoriously …

A crucial role of cortical networks is the conversion of sensory inputs into perception. In the
cortical somatosensory network, neurons of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) show …
