 | | Accordingly it is clear that there are separate perceptual pathways to the ego and the unconscious, the one to the ego having been damaged and the one to the unconscious remaining unscathed. | | | The record of such emotionally charged events is unconscious but the affects generated are consciously experienced and provide the emotional tone for conscious experience. | | | Psychoanalysis is an effective treatment for neurosis and it is clear that working with the ego/prefrontal cortex does lead to modifications of the amygdala's power to disrupt the individual. |

| | Although this approach is valuable for the student wishing to acquare a complete understanding of neuroanatomy, it is not very helpful to someone who has read about loss of cholinergic innervation to the hippocampus and wants to know where it is and what it looks like. | | | These regions can perhaps best be viewed as the extreme lateral edges of the cerebral cortex that have have been folded under the main structure and lie on either side of the ventricles (hollow cavities) that extend from the spinal column upward and forward through the brain. | | | Subcortical areas: Structures located in the limbic region, deeper into the brain, that are also of importance in the study of Alzheimer disease include the amygdala and the hippocampus. |

| | However, regional differences have been observed in prefrontal cortex, and subcortical and medial temporal structures, which are all components of anterior limbic networks that modulate the behaviors affected in bipolar disorder. | | | Future prospective and longitudinal studies focusing on these specific relationships are necessary to clarify the functional neuroanatomy of bipolar disorder. | | | By measuring a behavioral correlate associated with bipolar disorder (namely, inattention), the validity of this finding was strengthened. |

| | We would therefore predict that patients unfortunate enough to have lost their entire prefrontal cortex on both sides (including Broca's area) would not be visually conscious, although they might still have well-preserved, but unconscious, visual-motor abilities. | | | Activity in V1 may be necessary for vivid and veridical visual consciousness (as is activity in the retinae), but we suggest that the firing of none of the neurons in V1 directly correlates with what we consciously see (for a critique of our hypothesis, see Pollen, 1995, and our reply, Crick and Koch, 1995b). | | | In one extreme form this would mean that, at one time or another, any neuron in cortex and associated structures could express the NCC. |

| | Estimates of Neural Hardware |
| | This tacit unbounded-resource assumption has paradoxical consequences in neuroscience, particularly involving the quantitative incoherence of some key anatomical studies of cortical connectivy resources: cortical sheet area, synaptic density there, and giant axonic arborizations in visual cortex. | | | This inattention to quantitative consistency checking in neuroanatomy appears to stem from, as a notable instance, something of the nonspatial character of the Cartesian concept of mind being extended to the brain as physical structure." Cherniak discusses various estimates of important neural hardware counts. | | | These estimates, as emphasized earlier, can only be a provisional starting point." Extensive references are provided. |

| | Cogprints - Autism III: Is it linked to higher-level context information defects in the cerebello-prefrontal circuit? |
| | In the case of subcortical and primary cortical areas tracking concerns those events involved motor coordination, reflexes, and conditioning; in the case of the neocerebellum and higher association cerebral cortex area, especially prefrontal cortex ones, it concerns those used by memory, planning and learning. | | | Elsewhere such information processing has been shown to be defective in autism, further, the neuropathology of autism now points to prefrontal-neocerebellum disconnection. | | | Here I argue that the higher-order context information extraction defect in autism links to the lack of a contribution of neocerebellum processing to cognition. |
