Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that without the cerebral cortex, consciousness could not exist.

This research suggests that consciousness instead originates in the subcortex, and is …

What gives rise to human consciousness? Are some parts of the brain more important than others? Scientists began tackling these questions in more depth about 35 years ago. Researchers have made progress, but the mystery of consciousness remains very much alive. In a recently published article, I reviewed over 100 years of neuroscience research to see if some brain regions …

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 experience may be controlled by a far more primal structure. In a review of over a century of scientific research, neuroscientist Dr Peter Coppola examined stimulation studies, animal experiments, …

Researchers used artificial intelligence to spot hidden signs of consciousness in comatose patients long before they were noticed by doctors, according to a new study. Using an algorithm, the researchers were able to analyze patients’ facial movements, including tiny changes that were too discrete to be visually noticeable, but could be clinically meaningful. “When somebody recovers consciousness, it’s almost like …
