Pinpointing consciousness in animal brains using a mouse 'brain map'

Science may be one step closer to understanding where consciousness resides in the brain. A new study shows the importance of certain types of neural connections in identifying consciousness.

"Where in the brain consciousness resides has been one of the biggest questions in science," said Associate Professor Masafumi Oizumi, corresponding author and head of the lab conducting the study. "Although we have not reached a conclusive answer, much empirical evidence has been accumulated in the course of searching for the minimal mechanisms sufficient for conscious experience, or the neural correlates of consciousness."
