What Neuroscientists Consider and Disconsider Regarding Consciousness It is probably fair to say that the majority of neuroscientists ignore the question of the origin of consciousness. The tacitly implied mechanism of consciousness in these approaches is that it just happens, despite the fact that there are active research programmes looking at correlates of consciousness and explorations of the informational properties of what might be relevant neural ensembles. This reliance on a "magical emergence" of consciousness ignores the "objectively absurd" claim that components that lack any traits or characteristics that can be said to be related to consciousness somehow combine to create it. Undoubtedly, the biggest scientific challenge of our time is to explain how something as complex as consciousness can develop from a grey, jelly-like lump of tissue in the head. The brain is a remarkably complex organ, with nearly 100 billion neurons that are each connected to 10,000 other neurons, resulting in ten trillion nerve connections. It was considered unfitting for "serious science" to investigate the mysterious inner world of consciousness for a significant portion of the 20th century. There is now widespread agreement that the issue of consciousness is a significant one in science as a result of significant changes in the situation. Consciousness Finding a rigorous scientific definition of consciousness that is widely accepted is challenging. Contrarily, everyone is familiar with what consciousness is. To put it simply, a conscious organism has an experience of what it is like to be that organism. To put it another way, consciousness is what returns the next morning when you wake up and is what is lost when you go to a dreamless sleep (or when you receive general anesthesia). More broadly, consciousness denotes a continuous (but interruptible) stream of phenomenal senses or experiences, similar to a technicolour, multimodal, totally immersive, and completely individualised movie that is being watched by one person. Neuroscience in general is more general and more focused than the study of consciousness. More expansive because a narrow focus on brain mechanisms ignores the crucial contributions made by other fields to what is ultimately a question about the human (and possibly non-human) condition. Narrower because consciousness appears to play a minor role in much of the brain's activity, if not entirely separate from it. For instance, the cerebellum, also known as the "little brain," while essential for many motor and cognitive functions, appears to have little to do with consciousness. The term "neuroscience" refers to the body of knowledge in the sciences whose explanations refer to the characteristics of individual neurons, populations of neurons, or larger sections of the nervous system. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of different neuroimaging techniques by psychologists to track the activity of tens of millions of neurons, the modelling of biological and artificial neural networks by computational theorists, the use of electrodes implanted in brain tissue by neuroscientists to record neural activity from specific individuals or populations of neurons, and the clinical study of patients with altered conscious experiences in light of brain damage. Future Aspects The neural correlates of consciousness have received the majority of attention in discussions of the neuroscience of consciousness so far. Finding correlations is a first step in the neuroscience of consciousness since not all neural correlates are explanatory. To test assertions about sufficiency and necessity, as isolated in our two questions, the following step entails manipulating pertinent correlates: What conditions/states N of nervous systems are required and (or) sufficient for a mental state, M, to be conscious in contrast to not being conscious? What neural conditions or traits are required and/or sufficient for a conscious perceptual state to have content X rather than Y? Philosophically and empirically, there is still a lot of interesting work to be done, and an effective interdisciplinary research programme is in store for us. Journal of Neuroscience focuses on the study of neurochemicals, such as neurotransmitters, psych pharmaceuticals, and neuropeptides that affect how neurons function. The study of drugs that alter nervous system cellular processes and the neural mechanisms by which they affect behaviour is known as neuropharmacology. The goal of the Journal of Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology journal is to give scientists and researchers in the clinical and academic fields a forum where they may propose new concepts, debate new tactics, and advance advancements in all areas of neuroscience and pharmacology. By addressing broader aspects of neurological functions, disorders, diagnosis, therapy, cure, and rehabilitation to its widely acclaimed readers on an open access platform, the journal offers a comprehensive view on various aspects of neurological sciences.
