Neuronal activity is markedly different across brain states: it varies from desynchronized
activity during wakefulness to the synchronous alternation between active and silent states …

Both the global neuronal workspace (GNW) and integrated information theory (IIT) posit that
highly complex and interconnected networks engender perceptual awareness. GNW …

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 …

aiming to answer this age-old question have emerged from the recent surge in …

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

In their interesting and thorough Review (Neural correlates of consciousness: progress and
problems. Nat. Rev. Neurosci. 17, 307–321 (2016)) 1, Koch and colleagues argue that the …
