Mental Causation and Intelligibility
Humana.Mente: Journal of Philosophical Studies, 2015 I look at some central positions in the mental causation debate – reductionism, emergentism, and nonreductive physicalism – on the hypothesis that mental causation is intelligible.

Quantum mechanics and consciousness: Thoughts on a causal correspondence theory [PDF]
, 2017 Which way does causation proceed? The pattern in the material world seems to be upward: particles to molecules to organisms to brains to mental processes. In contrast, the principles of quantum mechanics allow us to see a pattern of downward causation.

Anti-reductionist Interventionism [PDF]
, 2023 Kim’s causal exclusion argument purports to demonstrate that the non-reductive physicalist must treat mental properties (and macro-level properties in general) as causally inert.

Glymphatic Dysfunction Reflects Post‐Concussion Symptoms: Changes Within 1 Month and After 3 Months
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) may alter glymphatic function; however, its progression and variability remain obscure. This study examined glymphatic function following mTBI within 1 month and after 3 months post‐injury to determine whether variations in glymphatic function are associated with post‐traumatic symptom severity ...

Mental Causation and the Causal Completeness of Physics
Principia: An International Journal of Epistemology, 2002 This paper takes issue with a widely accepted view of mental causation. This is the view that mental causation is either reducible to physical causation or ultimately untenable, because incompatible with the causal completeness of physics The paper ...

Mary does not learn anything new: Applying Kim's critique of mental causation to the knowledge argument and the problem of consciousness [PDF]
, 2019 Within the discourse surrounding mind-body interaction, mental causation is intimately associated with non-reductive physicalism. However, such a theory holds two opposing views: that all causal properties and relations can ...

Life‐Threatening Bradycardia in Anti‐NMDA‐Receptor Encephalitis and a Novel Use for Permanent Pacing
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Pediatric anti‐NMDA receptor encephalitis (pNMDARE) is an autoantibody‐mediated disorder that can cause severe autonomic dysfunction, including symptomatic bradycardia and asystole. Dysautonomia can last for years, making it very challenging to manage.

Developmental, Neuroanatomical and Cellular Expression of Genes Causing Dystonia
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Dystonia is one of the most common movement disorders, with variants in multiple genes identified as causative. However, an understanding of which developmental stages, brain regions, and cell types are most relevant is crucial for developing relevant disease models and therapeutics.

Mental Causation for Mind-Body Dualists
Humana.Mente: Journal of Philosophical Studies, 2015 Interactive dualism is notorious for supporting genuine and autonomous mental causation that is allegedly impossible for its confliction with basic principles of physics.
