Abstract
Abstract:
In this editorial, we discuss the neurobiological processes underlying the early emergence
of awareness that we term the “when” and “how” the mind comes to live inside the body. We describe
an accumulative developmental process starting during embryonic life and continuing to fetal
and postnatal development, of coupling of heart rate, body movements, and sleep states on the behavioral
level with underlying mechanisms on the structural, functional, cellular, and molecular levels.
A developmental perspective is proposed based on Perceptual Control Theory (PCT). This includes
a developing sequence of modules starting from early sensing of neural intensities to early
manifestation of human mindful capacities. We also address pharmacological treatments administered
to preterm infants, which may interfere with this development, and highlight the need to consider
this potential “side effect” of current pharmaceuticals when developing novel pharmacogenomic
treatments.
