The role of synaptic junctions in the identification of human consciousness.
Consciousness rests on a complexly regulated mechanism (comprehending the stages of exocytosis and active transport) of projection of sensorial inputs, which can be assembled in quantic sources and then processed along the USC (Unified Synaptic Channel). Such a channel runs in loops all along the labyrinthine structure of the cerebral cortex and constitutes an anatomical-histological structure on its own along which the flow of molecular neurotransmitters determines a sort of constant low-noise effect.
