Neural circuitry of self-self and self-non-self interaction
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Humans typically experience life as a single self that is tightly associated with a body, conscious awareness, sense of agency, and presence in reality. Indeed, self is an ubiquitous form of human mental experience, and the recognition of a single self within each person influences the way we interact with each other, participate in political, legal, medical, cultural systems, raise children, and relate to death. In this dissertation, I describe how early insights during my first rotation project in the peripheral nervous system inspired experiments of a complex condition called dissociation in which the self is perceived to be disconnected from ones self. Appreciating that humans and social animals brains not only generate self and self-self interaction, but also model or and attend to non-self selfs, I present studies of innate visual animacy attention in rodents. Together, these three efforts investigate neural circuitry of self-self and self-non-self interaction.
