K_3_19 — Electrical Synapses and Gap Junctions in Consciousness

Most neuroscience focuses on chemical synapses, but the brain also uses electrical synapses formed by connexin-36 gap junctions — direct cytoplasmic channels that pass ions and small molecules between neurons. These prov

K_2_03 — Neural Correlates of Consciousness

The neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) are the minimal neuronal mechanisms jointly sufficient for any one specific conscious experience. The systematic search for NCCs was launched by Francis Crick and Christof Koc
