Consciousness and the cerebral cortex.
The scientific study of conciousness is difficult. Indeed, the enterprise seems to be almost a contradiction in terms. By most people's standards science cannot begin until the subject to be investigated has a definition, written down and generally agreed. "Consciousness" has no such definition. There have, in fact, been many serious attempts to remedy the situation. The most successful move co...
متن کاملStereological study of the cerebral and cerebellar cortex following short time exposure to morphine in rats
Drug abuse has been claimed to cause the loss of neurons and reduction of volume in both the adult and developing brain. This study examined cortex volumes in cerebrum and cerebellum of male rats that were dependent on morphine using unbiased stereological counting methods and systematic random sampling technique. Our goal was to test whether short time exposure to morphine can affect the corte...
متن کاملEffect of paraoxon on the synaptosomal GABA uptake in rat hippocampus and cerebral cortex
Introduction: Paraoxon (the neurotoxic metabolite of organophosphorus (OP) insecticide, parathion) exerts acute toxicity by inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine in cholinergic synapses and hence overstimulation of the cholinergic system. Since, reports on changes in the level of γ- amino butyric acid (GABA) during OP-induced convulsion have bee...

متن کاملConsciousness without a cerebral cortex: a challenge for neuroscience and medicine.
A broad range of evidence regarding the functional organization of the vertebrate brain - spanning from comparative neurology to experimental psychology and neurophysiology to clinical data - is reviewed for its bearing on conceptions of the neural organization of consciousness. A novel principle relating target selection, action selection, and motivation to one another, as a means to optimize ...
