Textbook in PDF format The Cooperative Neuron is part of a revolution that is occurring in the sciences of brain and mind. It explores the new field of cellular psychology, a field built upon the recent discovery that many neurons in the brain cooperate to seek agreement in deciding what's relevant in the current context. This cooperative context-sensitivity provides the cellular foundations for knowledge, doubt, imagination, self-development, and the search for purpose in life. This emerging field has far-reaching and fundamental implications for psychology, neuroscience, psychiatry, neurology, and the philosophy of mind. In a clear and accessible style, the book explains the neuroscience to psychologists, the psychology to neuroscientists, and both to philosophers, students of the behavioral and brain sciences, and to anyone intrigued by the enduring mystery of how brains can be minds. Introduction to The Cooperative Neuron Life, Brain, and Mind: Marvels of Cooperation between Diverse Individuals Enduring Philosophical and Psychological Issues Can Now be Explicitly Related to the Cellular Foundations of Mind Information-processing Operations Can be Distinguished from Information Content, and Both Can be Studied by Psychological and Neurobiological Methods Amplification of Pyramidal Cell Output if Relevant in the Current Context Clarification of Some Contentious and Ambiguous Terms Cellular Psychology Is Analogous to Molecular Biology Mental Life Is Not Behaviour Notes Cerebral Neocortex: Hierarchies of Abstraction in Physical Matter that Knows and Doubts, Thinks and Feels, Intends and Hopes Function Depends on Structure The Neocortex: A Vast Number of Neurons The Neocortical Sheet: Six Layers, not Three The Regions of the Neocortex Organization of Neocortical Regions into Hierarchies of Abstraction Neurobiological and Psychological Evidence for Common Neocortical Information Processing Operations Notes Neocortical Pyramidal Cells that Cooperate by Sensitivity to Context Common but Misleading Assumptions about the Cellular Bases of Mind Pyramidal Cells as Leaky Integrate-and-Fire Point Neurons Context-sensitive Two-point Neurons On the Diversity of Pyramidal Cells Inhibition and Disinhibition of Apical Function Research on Cooperative Context-sensitivity Is in Its Infancy Summary and Rapid Growth of This Research Field Notes Cooperative Neurons in Various States of Mind and Brain States of Wakefulness and States of Sleep Modulatory Neurotransmitters Regulate Transitions between Mental States Neuromodulators Regulate Mental State by Modifying Apical Function Three Modes of Apical Function: Amplification, Drive, and Isolation General Anaesthetics Interfere with Apical Function Mental State and Conceptions of Consciousness Summary Notes What Cooperative Neurons Do for Mental Life The Coordination of Mental Processes Depends on Cooperative Context-sensitivity Context Guides Perception via Apical Dendrites Conscious Experience Selective Attention Working Memory and Imagery Prioritization of Emotionally Charged Events Cognitive Control Learning and Long-term Memory Summary Notes Evolution and Development of Cooperative Neurons Evolution of Cooperative Neurons Evolution of Cognitive Capabilities That Depend on Cooperative Context-sensitivity Development of Apical Structure and Physiology Cooperative Context-sensitivity: A Key Role in Cognitive Development Language and Thought Notes Pathologies of Cooperative Neuronal Processing Epileptic Loss or Impairment of Consciousness Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders Anti-NMDA Autoimmune Encephalitis Autism Spectrum Disorders Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Notes An Information-theoretic View of Context-sensitive Computation Distinguishing Abstract Theories from Detailed Models Information Theory: A Formal Perspective on Context-sensitive Computation Coherent Infomax: A Theory of Local Processors with Receptive and Contextual Fields Decomposition of Transmitted Information Transmitted Information Decomposition Quantifies Context-sensitive Computation Transmitted Information Decomposition Quantifies Objectives of Context-sensitive Learning The Neurobiology of Cooperative Context-sensitive Computation Inspires Effective and Efficient Machine Learning Algorithms Notes Difficulties and Unresolved Issues Cellular Psychology Is in Its Infancy So Many Issues Are Unresolved How Cooperative Context-sensitive Computation Relates to Free Energy Reduction and Predictive Coding How Cooperative Neurons Are Embedded in Cortical Microcircuits How Cooperative Neurons Are Regulated by the Neuromodulators How Cooperative Neurons Relate to the Speed of Thought How Cooperative Neurons Relate to Hobson’s and Freud’s Views on Dreams Are There Distinctively Human Forms of Cooperative Context-sensitive Computation?
