I am unconvinced about this business of sticking a pin in part or process of the brain and announcing 'this is IT'.
I'm unconvinced about that as well. So what the brain does is complex and strange-loopy and this bit or that bit are active in this loop or that loop. All very interesting for "easy problem" but what does it say abut how a brain gives rise to C? That's a philosophical hurdle. We aren't asking how a bit of brain can become a conscious subject, are we?
