On the Nature of Allosteric Transitions: A Plausible Model

TL;DR: "It is certain that all bodies whatsoever, though they have no sense, yet they have perception, and whether the body be alterant or alterec, evermore a perception precedeth operation; for else all bodies would be like one to another."
Journal ArticleDOI

Allosteric Proteins and Cellular Control Systems

TL;DR: The biological activity of many proteins is controlled by specific metabolites which do not interact directly with the substrates or products of the reactions, and it is suggested that this mechanism plays an essential role in the regulation of metabolic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental and Theoretical Approaches to Conscious Processing

TL;DR: Converging neuroimaging and neurophysiological data point to objective neural measures of conscious access: late amplification of relevant sensory activity, long-distance cortico-cortical synchronization at beta and gamma frequencies, and "ignition" of a large-scale prefronto-parietal network.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conscious, preconscious, and subliminal processing: a testable taxonomy.

TL;DR: A taxonomy is proposed that distinguishes between vigilance and access to conscious report, as well as between subliminal, preconscious and conscious processing, and that conscious perception is systematically associated with surges of parieto-frontal activity causing top-down amplification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acetylcholine receptors containing the β2 subunit are involved in the reinforcing properties of nicotine

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the contribution of the high-affinity neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor to the effects of nicotine on the mesolimbic dopamine system in mice lacking the β2 subunit of this receptor.
