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

K_2_22 — Voltage-Gated Ion Channels and Neural Excitability

Voltage-gated ion channels are transmembrane proteins whose conformation depends on membrane potential, opening a selective pore for Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, or Cl⁻ when voltage thresholds are crossed. They are the molecular engin
