Conscience ; Émotions ; Cerveau

During the last decade, the study of emotional self-regulation has blossomed in a variety of sub-disciplines belonging to either psychology (developmental, clinical) or the neurosciences (cognitive and affective). Consciousness, Emotional Self-Regulation and the Brain gives an overview of the current state of this relatively new scientific field. Several areas are examined by some of the leading theorists and researchers in this emerging domain. Most chapters seek to either present theoretical and developmental perspectives about emotional self-regulation (and dysregulation), provide cutting edge information with regard to the neural basis of conscious emotional experience and emotional self-regulation, or expound theoretical models susceptible of explaining how healthy individuals are capable of consciously and voluntarily changing the neural activity underlying emotional processes and states. In addition, a few chapters consider the capacity of human consciousness to volitionally influence the brain's electrical activity or modulate the impact of emotions on the psychoneuroendocrine-immune network. This book will undoubtedly be useful to scholars and graduate students interested in the relationships between self-consciousness, emotion, the brain and the body.

Psychanalyse ; Tests neuropsychologiques ; Neuropsychiatrie - Méthodologie ; Conscience

Is the Ego nothing but our brain? Are our mental and psychological states nothing but neuronal states of our brain? Though Sigmund Freud rejected a neuroscientific foundation for psychoanalysis, recent knowledge in neuroscience has provided novel insights into the brain and its neuronal mechanisms. This has also shed light on how the brain itself contributes to the differentiation between neuronal and psychological states.

In Neuropsychoanalysis in Practice , Georg Northoff discusses the various neuronal mechanisms that may enable the transformation of neuronal into psychological states, looking at how these processes are altered in psychiatric disorders like depression and schizophrenia. He focuses specifically on how the brain is organized and how this organization enables the brain to differentiate between neuronal and psychodynamic states, that is, the brain and the psyche. This leads him to discuss not only empirical issues but also conceptual problems, for instance, the concept of the brain. Neuropsychoanalysis in Practice applies these concepts and mechanisms to explain the various symptoms observed in psychiatric disorders such as depression and schizophrenia. In addition to the empirical issues, he also discusses various conceptual and methodological issues that are relevant in linking neuroscience and psychoanalysis, developing a novel transdisciplinary framework for linking neuroscience, psychoanalysis and philosophy.

This highly original new book will help foster new dialogues between neuroscience, psychoanalysis, and philosophy, and will be fascinating reading for anyone in these disciplines.

Cerveau - Évolution ; Neurologie du développement ; Conscience

From one of the most significant neuroscientists at work today, a pathbreaking investigation of a question that has confounded philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists for centuries: how is consciousness created?

Antonio Damasio has spent the past thirty years studying and writing about how the brain operates, and his work has garnered acclaim for its singular melding of the scientific and the humanistic. In Self Comes to Mind, he goes against the long-standing idea that consciousness is somehow separate from the body, presenting compelling new scientific evidence that consciousness—what we think of as a mind with a self—is to begin with a biological process created by a living organism. Besides the three traditional perspectives used to study the mind (the introspective, the behavioral, and the neurological), Damasio introduces an evolutionary perspective that entails a radical change in the way the history of conscious minds is viewed and told. He also advances a radical hypothesis regarding the origins and varieties of feelings, which is central to his framework for the biological construction of consciousness: feelings are grounded in a near fusion of body and brain networks, and first emerge from the historically old and humble brain stem rather than from the modern cerebral cortex.

Damasio suggests that the brain's development of a human self becomes a challenge to nature's indifference and opens the way for the appearance of culture, a radical break in the course of evolution and the source of a new level of life regulation—sociocultural homeostasis. He leaves no doubt that the blueprint for the work-in-progress he calls sociocultural homeostasis is the genetically well-established basic homeostasis, the curator of value that has been present in simple life-forms for billions of years. Self Comes to Mind is a groundbreaking journey into the neurobiological foundations of mind and self.

Psychanalyse ; Neurosciences ; Conscience ; Inconscient ; Pulsions

Les recherches sur le cerveau ont tant progressé ces dernières années que la conception de l'homme en est bouleversée : le corps ne serait plus qu'une « machine » dont il suffirait de réparer les rouages en cas d'avarie ; les sentiments comme l'amour, le désir, des créations comme la poésie, ne seraient plus qu'une question d'hormones et de connexions nerveuses ; quant à l'activité psychique, les rêves, l'inconscient, les symptômes, de bons médicaments les disciplineraient. Éternel débat du corps et de l'esprit que les neuroscientifiques invitent les psychanalystes à remettre sur le métier. À tel point qu'une question se pose avec de plus en plus d'insistance : peut-il y avoir deux approches différentes, voire contradictoires, d'un même phénomène ? Ce livre fait justice de cette opposition infondée, qui doit surtout sa force à une méconnaissance des processus cérébraux et de la vie psychique. Il ne viendrait pas à l'idée d'un psychanalyste de nier l'importance des processus organiques : comment la puissance psychique se dispenserait-elle des potentialités du corps ? Dès ses débuts, la psychanalyse a subverti cette opposition grâce à l'une de ses découvertes majeures : celle de la pulsion, qui anime le psychique en même temps qu'elle intègre le somatique, et dialectise au point de l'invalider toute opposition entre le mental et le cérébral. Mais il y a plus sensationnel encore, car nombre de découvertes de la neurophysiologie apportent de l'eau au moulin de Freud. Sans l'avoir cherché, les neurosciences montrent comment le langage modélise le corps beaucoup plus profondément que le symptôme hystérique ne le laissait prévoir. Cette mise en tension du corps par le langage est si importante que nombre de résultats de la neurophysiologie ne peuvent être interprétés sans la psychanalyse. Plusieurs questions aussi essentielles que celle de la conscience, par exemple, demeurent insolubles sans le concept d'inconscient. En mesurant l'apport des neurosciences à la psychanalyse, on commence à avoir une idée plus précise de ce qu'est un « sujet », mais aussi de ce corps dont nous sommes si conflictuellement les curieux locataires.
