Attention
is a basic component of brain function on which many neural processes depend. |
|
6 |
Miller; Human Frontal Lobes |
135 |
|
Attention
is influenced by external
signals during cognitively demanding task ("signal-driven"
or "bottom-up"
modulation), as well as by an intrinsic knowledge - or practice-based executive influence
("cognitive" or "top-down") modulation of detection. |
|
0 |
Miller; Human Frontal Lobes |
135 |

Both bottom-up and top-down modulation of attention is mediated by release of acetylcholine
(ACh) from basal
forebrain neurons that project throughout the
cerebral cortex, particularly in the medial
frontal lobes. |

Some researchers separate the
self into a minimal self,
the immediate experience of one's person unextended in time, and a
more longitudinal or narrative
self, related to one's personal
past and future. |

Self-representational layers of mental images are woven into the larger tapestry our brains create about the world outside. [This interaction of a mental image of the external world with a mental image representing the self is the basis of consciousness.] |

Three processing streams the

Interoception: mapping the body state in consciousness. Body state data that
our brains receive is almost always running, even in dreamful sleep. |
|
1 |
Miller;
Human Frontal Lobes |
323 |
|
Exterioception: body-centered world map. We live in a complex three-dimensional environment. The minimal self
must track the physical
extent and location of
the body within the gravitational field. Visual,
auditory, and vestibular data are integrated into
a spatially refined image and used to construct an egocentric
world map. |
|
1 |
Miller;
Human Frontal Lobes |
324 |
|
Phrenoception: representing acts of the mind. Just as interoceptive and exteroceptive
feedback are cortically represented, the brain's
own intrinsic spontaneous activities -- thoughts -- must be cortically represented for consciousness Spontaneous
thoughts are a fundamental feature of the minimal self. |
|
1 |
Miller; Human Frontal Lobes |

|
Whereas the
minimal self describes self representational
acts that occur at the moment, the longitudinal [autobiographical]
self relates to the elements of our extended individual life histories. |
