Abstract
Neural Plasticity and Consciousness
Highlights
At a “higher” level of description, reorganizations related to changes in cognition may be investigated
Functional reorganizations will typically be considered cases of functional recovery where a wide range of functions seemingly are realized in different brain regions after injury to regions previously associated with the function (Overgaard and Mogensen, 2011)
The neural correlate of consciousness (NCC) for a conscious experience X is not just the NCC at a time – it is the NCC at any time
Summary
At a “higher” level of description, reorganizations related to changes in cognition may be investigated. An impressive amount of evidence suggests a functional localization of mental phenomena in the brain, so that different cognitive and emotional functions are associated with specific networks or regions of the brain (e.g., Frackowiak et al, 2003). Functional reorganization involves a change in how, for example, a specific cognitive function is realized in the brain.
