In [[biological psychology]] the '''core consciousness''' describes a hypothesized level of [[awareness]] facilitated by [[brain|neural]] structures of most animals that allows them to be aware of, and react to their environment. |
|||
Core consciousness is said to arise from a core self, which is an audience for an endlessly changing stream of stimulus and reaction resulting from interaction with an environment. |
|||
The concept was popularized by a [[neurology]] department chairman from [[University of Iowa]] [[medical school|College of Medicine]]. [[Antonio Damasio]] theorized a core self-perception in the [[human brain]] arises from structures in the [[zootomical_terms_for_location|medial]] or central areas of the [[brain]], including perhaps the [[superior collici|superior colliculus]], the [[thalamus]] and the [[cingulate cortex]]. |
