Anatomical structure and physiological functions subserving higher order consciousness

It describes how the operations of topographically different regions of the brain are bound into a functional entity subserving higher order consciousness. It explains the relevant thoughts of several scientists on the issue including Vernon Mountcastle, Jean-Pierre Changeux, and Bernard Baars.
