In another development, Damasio proposed that the cortical architecture on which learning and recall depend involves multiple, hierarchically organized loops of axonal projections that converge on certain nodes out of which projections diverge to the points of origin of convergence ( the convergence-divergence framework ).

Damasio developed the concept in his ( 1999 ) book, The Feeling of What Happens, out of his earlier formulation in Descartes ' Error ( 1994 ) of the importance of what he called ' background feeling ... the feeling of life itself, the sense of being ' - something without which, he considered, ' the very core of your representation of self would be broken '.

That neuropsychologists have only recently taken a closer look at the crucial role the SMA plays in the volitional process might be seen, according to Antonio R. Damasio, Department of Neurology, University of Iowa College of Medicine, Iowa City, IA, in his commentary " Understanding the Mind ’ s Will " ( 1985 ), "... as the fate of higher-order integrative systems.

Whether despite or because of that fallibilism, Damasio writes in the belief that ' scientific knowledge can be a pillar to help humans endure and prevail '.

" As a leading neuroscientist, Damasio has dared to speculate on neurobiological data, and has offered a theory about the relationship between human emotions, human rationality, and the underlying biology.

' As Damasio argues throughout his work, consciousness is far from monolithic ', but rather exists in a hierarchy of stages, each building upon ( and dependent on ) its predecessor ( s ).

Damasio's theory stresses ' the crucial role of feeling in navigating the endless stream of life's personal decisions .... The intuitive signals that guide us in these moments come in the form of limbic-driven surges from the viscera that Damasio calls " somatic markers "-literally, gut feelings '.

Riedl had less direct influence on academic philosophy than his profound influence on the thinking of investigators in neuroscience such as Michael Gazzaniga, Antonio Damasio, and Vilayanur S. Ramachandran, whose investigations combine synergistically with those of more physiologically-oriented scientists such as Eric Kandel and Rodolfo Llinás, as well as computational models that take advantage of the techniques of systems dynamics as practiced by Denis Noble and P. Read Montague.

According to Damasio, decision-making regions of the brain are connected to the emotional centers, even after damage to the frontal lobe, a theory he tested on a subject referred to as E. V. R., who also had frontal lobe damage, specifically bilateral damage to his orbitofrontal cortices during removal of a brain tumor.

In literature too ' it is Damasio who seems to be the key inspiration behind the dismantling of the emotion / reason dichotomy '.< ref > Dominic Head, Ian McEwan < 2007 ) p. 133 </ ref >

The work is based on a poetic description written for the composer of the evolution of brain into mind by neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, and featured, at the premiere, a film of brain scans provided by Hanna Damasio plus other images, coordinated with the music during the performance.

" Damasio provides a contemporary scientific validation of the linkage between feelings and the body by highlighting the connection between mind and nerve cells ... this personalized embodiment of mind.

Theories proposed by neuroscientists such as Gerald Edelman and Antonio Damasio, and by philosophers such as Daniel Dennett, seek to explain consciousness in terms of neural events occurring within the brain.

Eslinger and Damasio concluded that E. V. R lacked sympathetically mediated skin conductance responses to neutral and emotional visual images and that frontal lobe damage doesn ’ t affect memory or intelligence, but the emotional and cognitive centers of the brain.

Antonio Damasio theorized extended consciousness to arise in the structures in the human brain he described as image spaces and dispositional spaces.

Antonio Damasio studied what ensued when something " severed ties between the lower centres of the emotional brain ... and the thinking abilities of the neocortex ".

Emotions, as defined by Damasio, are changes in both body and brain states in response to different stimuli.

Neuroscientists, Paul Eslinger and Antonio Damasio researched the effects of damage to the orbitofrontal cortex by using their patient, E. V. R.

What Damasio and Eslinger found was that the subject ’ s responses to social situations, moral reasoning and intelligence was superior, but he could not easily make decisions or meet his personal and professional responsibilities.

Along with Eslinger and Damasio ’ s experiment on patient E. V. R., Carlyle Jacobsen and John Fulton also experimented on chimpanzees involving the removal of the tissue from the frontal lobe ,< ref >" Lobotomy ".

Antonio Damasio considers conscience an aspect of extended consciousness beyond survival-related dispositions and incorporating the search for truth and desire to build norms and ideals for behavior.

Antonio Damasio ( born February 25, 1944 in Lisbon, Portugal ) is a University Professor ( an award based on multi-disciplinary interests and significant accomplishments in several disciplines ) and David Dornsife Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Southern California, where he heads USC's Brain and Creativity Institute.

Prior to taking up his posts at USC, in 2005, Damasio was M. W.

The husband points the steps out with his flashlight: `` Its white stare filling her pale eyes To the blind brim with appetite, Bleaching her hands that grazed my thighs And sent us from the table in surprise To let the dishes soak all night, '' ( Mary Jane asked herself if Meredith was blushing at this line, or was it the fire??

Morrison points out that since our country is more urbanized than the Soviet Union or Red China, it is the most vulnerable of the great powers -- Europe of course must be written off out of hand.

The scientists, in and out of government, do not agree on some of the most vital points, at least publicly.

As Critic Walter Kerr points out: `` Adaptations, so long as they are good, still qualify as creative ''.

The New York Central has pointed out that this control, if approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission, would give the combined C. & O. - B. & O. Railroad a total of 185 points served in common with the New York Central.

As he points out, a religious group cannot exist without a collective credo, and the more extensive the credo, the more unified and strong is the group.

After all, the henpecked husband with his shrewish wife is a comic figure of long standing, in literature and on the stage, as Dr. Schillinger points out.

`` All too frequently '', points out James O'Gara, managing editor of Commonweal, `` Catholics run roughshod over Protestant sensibilities in this matter, by failure to consider the reasoning behind the Protestant position and, particularly, by their jibes at the fact that Protestant opinion on birth control has changed in recent decades ''.

Recognizing that there could have been no effective negotiated peace with Hitler, he points out the shocking failure to give support to the anti-Nazi underground, which very nearly eliminated Hitler in 1944.

The book points out that the poem has the same meter as that of " Auld Lang Syne "; the songs can be sung interchangeably.

Additionally, Sherr points out that this was the original third verse written by Bates:

In structure, Johnson points out the same central theme, that of cannibalism and the eating of babies as well as the same final argument, that " human depravity is such that men will attempt to justify their own cruelty by accusing their victims of being lower than human.

In agreement with Johnson, Donald C. Baker points out the similarity between both authors ' tones and use of irony.

He points out that Shrine 261 is not strictly analogous to the Ark of the Covenant: it can only be said that the Anubis Shrine is " ark-like ", constructed of wood, gilded and gessoed, stored within a sacred tomb, " guarding " the treasury of the tomb ( and not the primary focus of that environment ), that it contains compartments within it that store and hold sacred objects, that it has a figure of Anubis on its lid, and that it was carried by two staves permanently inserted into rings at its base and borne by eight priests in the funerary procession to Tutankhamun's tomb.

Cameron also points out that whether he refers to Plato or to Crantor, the statement does not support conclusions such as Otto Muck's " Crantor came to Sais and saw there in the temple of Neith the column, completely covered with hieroglyphs, on which the history of Atlantis was recorded.

For example, Barrett points out that the Pastoral Epistles are concerned that ministers of the generation of Timothy and Titus should pass on the doctrine they had received to the third generation.
