Focus: Attention Science: How Brain Arousal Mechanisms Work

Describing consciousness as a physiological phenomenon has been a challenge for neuroscientists. In How Brain Arousal Mechanisms Work, neuroscientist Donald Pfaff presents his theoretical ideas on the organization of brain arousal systems that he names, “Generalized Arousal (GA)”. The main purpose of the book is to offer explanation of the mechanisms of brain arousal toward physical consciousness so that it can be applied for treatment purposes.
