The Astroglia Syncytial Theory of Consciousness.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences June 17, 2025 James M Robertson 3 citations

The neurological basis of consciousness remains unknown despite innumerable theories proposed for over a century. The major obstacle is that empirical studies demonstrate that all sensory information is subdivided and parcellated as it is processed within the brain. A central region where such diverse information combines to form conscious expression has not been identified. A novel hypothesis...

Astrocyte domains and the three-dimensional and seamless expression of consciousness and explicit memories.

Medical Hypotheses December 1, 2013 James M Robertson

The expression of consciousness and the site of memory storage within the brain are unknown despite over a century of intense empirical scrutiny. Recent anatomical studies show that human protoplasmic astrocytes form innumerable uniform polyhedral tessellating domains that are arranged three-dimensionally. This complex geometric structure provides a matrix for seamless and three-dimensional...
