Cognitive scientists have tried to explain the neural mechanisms of unconscious mental states such as coma, epileptic seizures, and anesthesia-induced unconsciousness. However these types of unconscious states are different from the psychoanalytic unconscious. In this review, we aim to present our hypothesis about the neural correlates underlying psychoanalytic unconscious. To fulfill this aim, we firstly review the previous explanations about the neural correlates of conscious and unconscious mental states, such as brain oscillations, synchronicity of neural networks, and cognitive binding. By doing so, we hope to lay a neuroscientific ground for our hypothesis about neural correlates of psychoanalytic unconscious; parallel but unsynchronized neural networks between different layers of consciousness and unconsciousness. Next, we propose a neuroscientific mechanism about how the repressed mental events reach the conscious awareness; the lock of neural synchronization between two mental layers of conscious and unconscious. At the last section, we will discuss the data about schizophrenia as a clinical example of our proposed hypothesis.
认知科学家们试图解释诸如昏迷、癫痫发作和麻醉诱导的无意识等无意识心理状态的神经机制。然而，这些类型的无意识状态与精神分析学中的无意识不同。在本综述中，我们旨在提出关于精神分析无意识背后神经关联的假设。为实现这一目标，我们首先回顾先前关于有意识和无意识心理状态神经关联的解释，如脑振荡、神经网络同步性和认知绑定。通过这样做，我们希望为我们关于精神分析无意识神经关联的假设奠定神经科学基础；即意识和无意识不同层面之间平行但不同步的神经网络。接下来，我们提出一种神经科学机制，解释被压抑的心理事件如何进入意识觉知；即意识和无意识两个心理层面之间神经同步的锁定。在最后一部分，我们将讨论作为我们所提出假设临床实例的精神分裂症数据。
