Abstract

Philosophical theories have attempted to shed light on the intricate relationships between consciousness and memory since long before this became a major theme in psychology and neuroscience. In the December 2022 issue of Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology , Budson, Richman, and Kensinger (2022) introduced a comprehensive theoretical framework pertaining to the origins of consciousness in relation to the memory system, its implications on our real-time perception of the world, and the neuroanatomical correlates underlying these phenomena. Throughout their paper, Budson et al (2022) focus on their theory's explanatory value regarding several clinical syndromes and experimental findings. In this commentary, we first summarize the theory presented by Budson and colleagues (2022). Then, we suggest a complementary approach of studying the relationships between consciousness and memory through the concept of the human self and its protracted representation through time (so-called mental time travel). Finally, we elaborate on Budson and colleagues' (2022) neuroanatomical explanation to their theory and suggest that adding the concepts of brain networks and cortical gradients may contribute to their theory's interpretability.

意识、记忆和人类自我:布德森等人(2022)对“作为记忆系统的意识”的评论。
早在意识和记忆成为心理学和神经科学的主要主题之前,哲学理论就试图阐明意识和记忆之间的复杂关系。在2022年12月出版的《认知与行为神经病学》杂志上,Budson、Richman和Kensinger(2022)介绍了一个全面的理论框架,涉及意识与记忆系统的起源、它对我们对世界的实时感知的影响,以及这些现象背后的神经解剖学相关性。在他们的论文中,Budson等人(2022)专注于他们的理论对几种临床综合征和实验结果的解释价值。在这篇评论中,我们首先总结了Budson及其同事(2022)提出的理论。然后,我们提出了一种互补的方法,通过人类自我的概念及其在时间中的持久表征来研究意识和记忆之间的关系(所谓的心理时间旅行)。最后,我们详细阐述了Budson及其同事(2022)对他们理论的神经解剖学解释,并认为添加大脑网络和皮层梯度的概念可能有助于他们理论的可解释性。

期刊介绍: Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology (CBN) is a forum for advances in the neurologic understanding and possible treatment of human disorders that affect thinking, learning, memory, communication, and behavior. As an incubator for innovations in these fields, CBN helps transform theory into practice. The journal serves clinical research, patient care, education, and professional advancement. The journal welcomes contributions from neurology, cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry, and other relevant fields. The editors particularly encourage review articles (including reviews of clinical practice), experimental and observational case reports, instructional articles for interested students and professionals in other fields, and innovative articles that do not fit neatly into any category. Also welcome are therapeutic trials and other experimental and observational studies, brief reports, first-person accounts of neurologic experiences, position papers, hypotheses, opinion papers, commentaries, historical perspectives, and book reviews.
