    Abstract Louis Pasteur is celebrated as the founding father of microbiology. But he was a chemist by training and discovered molecular dissymmetry experimentally. All his life, his constant preoccupation will be to apply the method and strategies of the fundamental sciences to living processes, "from the molecule to the brain". His fundamental aim will be, beyond the biology of microbes, the chemistry of life, a disposition which signs the originality of his work. More unexpectedly, Pasteur was at the origin of therapeutic chemistry-which his successors, and especially Daniel Bovet, brilliantly illustrated at the Pasteur Institute and which they would pursue with the pharmacology of the nervous system or "neuropharmacology".

    Abstract The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor has served, since its biochemical identification in the 1970s, as a model of an allosteric ligand-gated ion channel mediating signal transition at the synapse. In recent years, the application of X-ray crystallography and high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy, together with molecular dynamic simulations of nicotinic receptors and homologs, have opened a new era in the understanding of channel gating by the neurotransmitter. They reveal, at atomic resolution, the diversity and flexibility of the multiple ligand-binding sites, including recently discovered allosteric modulatory sites distinct from the neurotransmitter orthosteric site, and the conformational dynamics of the activation process as a molecular switch linking these multiple sites. The model emerging from these studies paves the way for a new pharmacology based, first, upon the occurrence of an original mode of indirect allosteric modulation, distinct from a steric competition for a single and rigid binding site, and second, the design of drugs that specifically interact with privileged conformations of the receptor such as agonists, antagonists, and desensitizers. Research on nicotinic receptors is still at the forefront of understanding the mode of action of drugs on the nervous system. Expected final online publication date for the

    Abstract This paper investigates the compatibility between the theoretical framework of the global neuronal workspace theory (GNWT) of conscious processing and the perturbational complexity index (PCI). Even if it has been introduced within the framework of a concurrent theory (i.e. Integrated Information Theory), PCI appears, in principle, compatible with the main tenet of GNWT, which is a conscious process that depends on a long-range connection between different cortical regions, more specifically on the amplification, global propagation, and integration of brain signals. Notwithstanding this basic compatibility, a number of limited compatibilities and apparent differences emerge. This paper starts from the description of brain complexity, a notion that is crucial for PCI, to then summary of the main features of PCI and the main tenets of GNWT. Against this background, the text explores the compatibility between PCI and GNWT. It concludes that GNWT and PCI are fundamentally compatible, even though there are some partial disagreements and some points to further examine.

    Abstract The concept of pharmacological receptor was proposed at the turn of the 20th century but it took almost 70 years before the first receptor for a neurotransmitter was isolated and identified as a protein. This review retraces the history of the difficulties and successes in the identification of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, the first neurotransmitter receptor to be identified.

    Abstract Recent advances in neurobiology, paleontology, and paleogenetics allow us to associate changes in brain size and organization with three main "moments" of increased behavioral complexity and, more speculatively, language development. First, Australopiths display a significant increase in brain size relative to the great apes and an incipient extension of postnatal brain development. However, their cortical organization remains essentially similar to that of apes. Second, over the last 2 My, with two notable exceptions, brain size increases dramatically, partly in relation to changes in body size. Differential enlargements and reorganizations of cortical areas lay the foundation for the "language-ready" brain and cumulative culture of later Homo species. Third, in Homo sapiens, brain size remains fairly stable over the last 300,000 years but an important cerebral reorganization takes place. It affects the frontal and temporal lobes, the parietal areas and the cerebellum and resulted in a more globular shape of the brain. These changes are associated, among others, with an increased development of long-distance-horizontal-connections. A few regulatory genetic events took place in the course of this hominization process with, in particular, enhanced neuronal proliferation and global brain connectivity.
