State/simulation | Brainstem | Cortex | Voluntary bodily movement | Hippocampus ↔ neocortex | Plasticity/ stability | Consolidation of episodic/procedural memories | Memory input |
wakefulness | active | active (alpha-beta waves) | active | open hippocampus ↔ neocortex | plasticity < stability | episodic = procedural | sensory experiences |
light NREM/light basking | hypoactive | hypoactive with occasional surges (some spindle waves) | inactive | open hippocampus ↔ neocortex | plasticity > stability | episodic > procedural | waking memory |
deep NREM/deep basking | hypoactive | hypoactive with few surges (mostly slow waves) | inactive | open hippocampus ↔ neocortex | mostly downscale for recovery | episodic and suppress procedural | waking memory |
tonic REM/light death-feigning | active | active (alpha-beta waves) | inactive | disrupted hippocampus ↔ neocortex (space-time dissolution) | plasticity < stability | episodic < procedural | NREM memory |
phasic REM/deep death-feigning | hyperactive | hyperactive (gamma waves) | inactive | disrupted hippocampus ↔ neocortex (space-time dissolution) | plasticity < stability | episodic < procedural | NREM memory |
therapeutic psychedelic hallucination | active | hyperactive (dosage dependent) | under therapeutic control | disrupted hippocampus ↔ neocortex (space-time dissolution) | plasticity > stability | mostly emotional procedural | waking therapeutic advises and trainings |
