Cognitive Neuroscience and Animal Consciousness
The problem of animal consciousness has profound implications on our concept of nature and of our place in the natural world. In philosophy of mind and cognitive neuroscience the problem of animal consciousness raises two main questions (Velmans, 2007): the distribution question (are there conscious animals beside humans?) and the phenomenological question (what is it like to be a non-human ...
متن کاملPutting the “Biology” Back into “Neurobiology”: The Strength of Diversity in Animal Model Systems for Neuroscience Research
Current trends in neuroscience research have moved toward a reliance on rodent animal models to study most aspects of brain function. Such laboratory-reared animals are highly inbred, have been disengaged from their natural environments for generations and appear to be of limited predictive value for successful clinical outcomes. In this Perspective article, we argue that research on a rich div...

متن کاملTaking the measure of diversity: comparative alternatives to the model-animal paradigm in cortical neuroscience.
Cortical neuroscience is founded on studies of a very few model organisms, mainly rats, cats, and macaque monkeys. The concentration of effort on such a few species would be defensible if cortical organization were basically uniform across mammals, as is commonly believed. Although there is little reason to doubt that some features of cortical organization are indeed widespread among mammals, p...
متن کاملStochastic dynamical systems in neuroscience
The success of Statistical Physics is largely due to the huge separation between microscopic and macroscopic scales, which enables us to apply limit theorems from probability theory, such as the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. The difficulty of biological systems, such as those arising in neuroscience, is that instead of only two scales, they involve a whole hierarchy of the...
