The genetics of human longevity — why some individuals live past 100 while most do not — is a field where heritability is modest, effect sizes are small, and environmental factors dominate, yet several genetic pathways h

K_3_06 — Disorders of Consciousness: Coma, Vegetative State, and Minimal Consciousness

Disorders of consciousness (DoC) — coma, vegetative state (now termed unresponsive wakefulness syndrome/UWS), and minimally conscious state (MCS) — represent some of the most challenging clinical and philosophical proble

K_3_08 — Intention, Volition, and Motor Consciousness

The neural basis of voluntary action and the timing of conscious intention relative to brain activity has become one of the most productive — and philosophically consequential — research programs in consciousness studies
