Consciousness remains one of the greatest mysteries in neuroscience from "summary" of Cognitive Neuroscience by Gazzaniga,Michael,Ivry,Richard B.,Mangun,George R.
Understanding consciousness presents profound challenges in neuroscience, as it encompasses a range of subjective experiences and cognitive processes. At its core, consciousness involves an awareness of oneself and the environment, yet defining it remains elusive. Neuroscientific inquiry often grapples with the question of how neural activity translates into the rich tapestry of thoughts, emotions, and perceptions that characterize human experience. Research has identified various brain regions implicated in conscious awareness, including the prefrontal cortex and the thalamus. However, the relationship between neural correlates and conscious experience is complex and not fully understood. Scientists have developed theories, such as the Global Workspace Theory, which posits that consciousness arises from the integration of information across different brain area...
