Abstract

We reviewed current evidence from experimental, clinical, and animal research about the level and content of cognition and consciousness in the fetus from convergent observations of behavior and measurable neurobiological changes, including neuroimaging findings. Between the second and the third trimesters, there are compelling observations that the fetus is capable of basic cognitive and behavioral processes that can scaffold the emergence of primary consciousness, mediated and governed by the connectivities between brainstem, thalamic, cortical subplate circuitry, and the maturing cortex. This work integrates the most recent transdisciplinary body of evidence demonstrating that the building of functional connectivities and integration of complex brain functions typically associated with minimal human consciousness start early in utero and suggesting that consciousness is not an all-or-none process but rather a continuum of increasingly complex and emergent interactions within multiple neural networks.

胎儿从感觉运动和知觉发展到初级意识:认知介导的新兴过渡的神经、行为和成像相关性汇聚
我们通过对行为和可测量的神经生物学变化(包括神经影像学发现)的综合观察,回顾了实验、临床和动物研究中有关胎儿认知和意识的水平和内容的现有证据。有令人信服的观察结果表明,胎儿在妊娠第二至三个月期间能够进行基本的认知和行为过程,这些过程能够为初级意识的出现提供支架,并由脑干、丘脑、皮质亚板回路和成熟皮质之间的联系所介导和支配。这项研究整合了最新的跨学科证据,证明功能连接性的建立和复杂大脑功能的整合通常与人类最低限度的意识有关,并表明意识不是一个全有或全无的过程,而是一个在多个神经网络中日益复杂和新兴的相互作用的连续体。
