In the Oct18 issue of Time, p. 82, there's an interesting story about Dr. Antonio Damasio, Chair of U-Iowa's neurology dept., and his new book "The Feeling of What Happens." He puts forth a rather interesting theory of consciousness based on a "layered" model of brain function. Basically states that higher-order aspects of consciousness/brain grew on top of, and are supported by, lower-order parts that evolved much earlier and are shared with other forms of life.
Sounds interesting.
