We Are Our Receptors: Rethinking Cortex and Cognition from The Sensory Periphery

2025-10-08

Abstract excerpt

Current neuroscience situates cognition within cortical and (to a less extent) subcortical areas, relegating receptors to passive relays. We propose a receptor-centered framework in which receptors act as constitutive determinants of neural architecture and cognitive experience, supported by empirical studies that substantiate our interpretation. Opsin gene therapy altering color vision in adult primates, as well...
