Recent neural theories of consciousness include models appealing to global integrated fields (Kinsbourne), binding through synchronous oscillation (Singer 1999, Crick and Koch 1990), NMDA-mediated transient neural assemblies (Flohr 1995), thalamically modulated patterns of cortical activation (Llinas 2001), reentrant cortical loops (Edelman 1989), comparator mechanisms in frontal and midbrain areas (Gray 1995), left hemisphere interpretative processes (Gazzaniga 1988), and emotive somatosensory hemostatic processes in the frontal-limbic nexus (Damasio 1999) or periaqueductal gray (Panksepp 1998).
