K_5_11 — Synaesthesia and Consciousness: Cross-Modal Binding
Synaesthesia (British spelling; "synesthesia" in American English) is a neurological condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway automatically triggers an involuntary experience in a second, unstim
K_5_03 — Psychosomatic Medicine and Mind–Body Interaction
Psychosomatic medicine investigates the bidirectional relationship between psychological processes and physical health — how mental states, emotions, beliefs, and social contexts influence bodily disease, and how physica
E_3_09 — Messinian Salinity Crisis
The Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) — approximately 5.96–5.33 million years ago (late Miocene) — was one of the most dramatic geological events in the Cenozoic: the near-complete desiccation (drying up) of the Mediterran
