This article presents a novel perspective on the structure and function of the human cortex, grounded in the Sociobiological Informational Theory (SIT). SIT offers a conceptual framework that integrates biological, psychological, and social dimensions of brain activity, challenging traditional anatomical and physiological models. Under this perspective, the neocortex is interpreted as the system of consciousness, while the paleocortex is associated with unconscious processes. This approach moves beyond classical models focused solely on anatomical structures, emphasizing instead the organized, dynamic nature of brain function as embedded in broader networks. The article argues that understanding the brain in isolation (from the nervous system, personal history, culture, and socioeconomic context) is insufficient for explaining human behavior and cognition. Consequently, SIT advocates for a rethinking of neurohistology, neuroanatomy, and neurophysiology, shifting from a static, disembodied view of the brain to a more integrated and coherent understanding of the living person-a new anatomy. This alternative interpretation of the human cortex, and of the body more broadly, opens avenues for interdisciplinary dialogue, encouraging exploration of the deep connections between consciousness, personality, and society.
本文基于社会生物学信息理论（SIT），提出了一种关于人类皮层结构与功能的全新观点。SIT提供了一个概念框架，将大脑活动的生物学、心理学和社会维度整合在一起，对传统的解剖学和生理学模型提出了挑战。在这种观点下，新皮层被解释为意识系统，而古皮层则与无意识过程相关联。这种方法超越了仅关注解剖结构的经典模型，转而强调大脑功能作为嵌入更广泛网络中的有组织的动态性质。文章认为，孤立地理解大脑（脱离神经系统、个人历史、文化和社会经济背景）不足以解释人类行为和认知。因此，SIT主张重新思考神经组织学、神经解剖学和神经生理学，从对大脑的静态、脱离实体的观点转向对有生命的个体更综合、连贯的理解——一种新的解剖学。这种对人类皮层以及更广泛身体的另类解释，为跨学科对话开辟了道路，鼓励探索意识、个性和社会之间的深层联系。
