ABSTRACT
In October 1994, a conference on “Mind/Brain” was held in Osaka, Japan, with the participation of several members of the Chicago psychoanalytic community. In addition to publishing some of their contributions (Levin and Kent in Volume 23, and Gedo's “Epigenesis, Regression, and the Problem of Consciousness” and “Creativity: The Burdens of Talent” in this volume), the Annual is presenting two papers from the conference by Japanese neuroscientists. Although these refrain from spelling out the significance of their findings for psychoanalysis, we believe that they are of sufficient importance to warrant publication in the analytic literature.
