“The emergence of a unified cognitive moment relies on the coordination of scattered mosaics of functionally specialized brain regions. Here we review the mechanisms of large-scale integration that counterbalance the distributed anatomical and functional organization of brain activity to enable the emergence of coherent behaviour and cognition. Although the mechanisms involved in large-scale integration are still largely unknown, we argue that the most plausible candidate is the formation of dynamic links mediated by synchrony over multiple frequency bands.” StillsMomentsBrainInvolvedActivityBandOrganizationArguingScalesRelyCandidatesRegionsLinksReviewsMechanismMultipleBehaviourIntegrationFrequencyFormationCognitionCognitiveEmergenceUnifiedPlausibleLarge ScaleCoordinationMosaics Author:Francisco Varela

“Dachau has been my own lifelong point of no return. Between the moment when I walked through the gate of that prison, with its infamous motto, 'Arbeit Macht Frei,' and when I walked out at the end of a day that had no ordinary scale of hours, I was changed, and how I looked at the human condition, the world we live in, changed ... Years of war had taught me a great deal, but war was nothing like Dachau. Compared to Dachau, war was clean.” WorldYearsHumansHas BeensWarEndsMomentsHoursMy OwnDealsConditionsChangedTaughtReturnOrdinaryPrisonCleanScalesWar Of The WorldsGatesWorld War IiHolocaustHuman ConditionWorld War IMottoLifelongInfamousDachau Author:Martha Gellhorn
