This Giant Neuron Could Explain Where Consciousness Comes From
After uncovering three giant neurons, scientists could be one step closer to pinpointing where consciousness lives in the brain. Can You Live With Only Half Of Your Brain? - https://youtu.be/_d...

Consciousness is defined as the state of being awake and aware of one's surroundings, it’s the mind’s understanding that it exists. And it is one of the most elusive phenomena in all of human understanding. To try and shed light on this mystery, scientists are searching for a biological explanation they call the neural correlates of consciousness. Which means, the parts of your brain that supposedly generate self-awareness. Aaaaand …. they might have found a key component! Researchers at the Allen Institute for Brain Science uncovered three giant neurons, one of which is projected across the cortex of a mouse brain like a “crown of thorns!” They’ve traced these special neurons to what’s believed to be one of the most densely connected ...
