naturenetwork.gifAlfredo Pereira has initiated a Nature Network group on consciousness, termed Brain Physiology, Cognition and Consciousness. From the description of the group, we can read that:

This group is aimed at discussing recent findings about brain physiology and possible implications for the explanation of cognitive and conscious processing.

Our main topics include: Molecular Mechanisms: systems of transmitters, modulators, membrane receptors, and their participation in cognitive functions; Intracellular Signal-Transduction Pathways involved in cognitive functions; Brain Processes Supporting Memory, Attention and Executive Functions; Techniques for Measurement of Brain Activity and Imaging; Neuro-Astroglial Interactions; ERP, Oscillatory Synchrony and Other Correlates of Consciousness; Neurological and Psychiatric Phenomena Impacting Consciousness: loss of consciousness in Epilepsia, alterations of consciousness in Schizophrenia and Depression
