For decades, scientists have thought that human consciousness arises from the newest and most sophisticated parts of the brain. But a Cambridge scientist now claims that the fundamental basis of our ...

A review of over 100 years of neuroscience research asks if some brain regions are more important than others for consciousness. What gives rise to human consciousness? Are some parts of the brain ...
