K_3_09 — Minimal Consciousness and the Threshold of Sentience

Where does consciousness begin? This question — the problem of the threshold of sentience — is one of the most challenging in consciousness studies because it requires identifying what KIND of physical system is minimall

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_3_16 — Anesthesia and Consciousness: What Going Under Reveals

General anesthesia provides a unique experimental window into consciousness: the ability to reversibly abolish and restore awareness in a controlled clinical setting. Despite over 175 years of practice since William T.G.
