Frontiers in Psychiatry September 29, 2020 Silvia Sánchez-Ramón, Florence Faure

One of the fundamental questions in neuroscience is how brain activity relates to conscious experience. Even though self-consciousness is considered an emergent property of the brain network, a quantum physics-based theory assigns a momentum of consciousness to the single neuron level. In this work, we present a brain self theory from an evolutionary biological perspective by analogy with the...

The Thymus/Neocortex Hypothesis of the Brain: A Cell Basis for Recognition and Instruction of Self

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience October 27, 2017 Silvia Sánchez-Ramón, Florence Faure 4 citations

The recognition of internal and external sources of stimuli, the self from non-self, seems to be an intrinsic property to the adequate functioning of the immune system and the nervous system, both complex network systems that have evolved to safeguard the self biological identity of the organism. The mammalian brain development relies on dynamic and adaptive processes that are now well...
