There is a clue in the name. ‘Infant’ is derived from the Latin in fans (without speech). Human babies cannot report their experiences and are uncooperative (to say the least) when it comes to experimental task instructions. For these reasons, it has been difficult to establish when babies become conscious. Bayne and colleagues propose a […]

In a recent paper [1], we suggested that the question of when consciousness emerges is best answered by asking when markers of consciousness that have been validated in adults might first appear. Taking four such markers, we argued in favour of an ‘early onset’ view, suggesting that consciousness is likely to be in place by […]

IntroductionMathematical models play a crucial role in investigating complex biological systems, enabling a comprehensive understanding of interactions among various components and facilitating in silico testing of intervention strategies. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by multifactorial causes and intricate interactions among biological entities, necessitating a personalized approach due to the lack of effective treatments. Therefore, mathematical […]
