“…Fractionation is not confined to cognitive neuropsychology but has occurred in related domains, including for example neuroanatomy (the number of cerebral cortical areas) and diseases of the peripheral nervous systems (Vallar, 1994). More generally, the increase of known components is a main feature of the advances of knowledge in subatomic particles (Close, Marten, & Sutton, 1987), in genetics (McKusick, 1998) (see also Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man: http:// www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim/), and in classification of organisms (taxonomy) (Margulis & Schwartz, 1998).…”

Developments in the understanding of the neurological and functional architectures of phonological short-term memory that took place in the 1984-2004 time period are reviewed. Phonological short-term memory is discussed as a case that illustrates a number of issues shared by other research domains in cognitive neuropsychology, with particular reference to memory systems. Modularity: Phonological short-term memory includes two main components, an input storage system (the phonological short-term store), and an output rehearsal process. These components are functionally connected with other verbal processes and systems, such as visual-verbal short-term memory, phonological recoding (grapheme-to-phoneme conversion), verbal long-term episodic memory, and the lexical systems. Neurological specificity: The store and the rehearsal components of phonological memory are implemented in discrete parts of the left cerebral hemisphere. Both the traditional anatomo-clinical correlation studies in brain-damaged patients, and neuroimaging activation experiments in neurologically unimpaired subjects, have contributed to elucidate the neural basis of the system. Converging operations: A distinctive feature of these advances has been the close interaction and cross-fertilisation among the related domains of cognitive experimental psychology and cognitive neuropsychology, based on observations in adult and child populations, in brain-damaged patients, and in subjects with developmental and genetically based cognitive disorders. Data from these different research areas have converged to specify the structure of phonological short-term memory (the distinction between storage and rehearsal) and its relationships with other memory systems (the long-term learning of novel phonological lexical entries).

“…3.2-3/ [16,27,40,53,55,57]), and a number of quantum-based ideas and models for the brain and consciousness have appeared [33,34,45,46,56,63]. The most activity in physics for our present interests over the past fifteen years and more has been in string theory where many speculations regarding the existence, nature, and possible manifestations of extra dimensions in the ultimate fabric of the universe have been discussed (Sec.…”

“…The second significant level is the level of fundamental particles described by quantum mechanics [16,27,40,53,54,57]. Since these are the material manifestations of string vibrations, any particular set of strings associated with protoconsciousness by the uncurling of a string dimension would materialize as a set of quantum "hyperparticles" with that quality.…”

This commentary article extends Vimal's [J Integr Neurosci 7:49-73, 2008] concept of protoexperience by outlining a two-factor approach to the localization of consciousness within the physical matter of the brain consistent with contemporary theoretical physics, molecular and system biology, and neuroscience. Specific hypotheses based on this approach predict on clearly stated grounds the occurrence or non-occurrence, and degrees of intensity of consciousness within the human brain and possibly in related species based on the combination of protoconsciousness with energetic activating agents. In this it comprises a mechanics of consciousness.

Abstract. In this review the basic interaction mechanisms of charged and neutral particles are presented. The ionization energy loss of charged particles is fundamental to most particle detectors and is therefore described in more detail. The production of electromagnetic radiation in various spectral ranges leads to the detection of charged particles in scintillation, Cherenkov and transition radiation counters. Photons are measured via the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering or pair production, and neutrons through their nuclear interactions.A combination of the various detector methods helps to identify elementary particles and nuclei. At high energies absorption techniques in calorimeters provide additional particle identification and an accurate energy measurement.
