The autonomic nervous system and the brainstem: A fundamental role or the background actors for consciousness generation? Hypothesis evidence and future directions for rehabilitation and theoretical approaches

Some important theories have been proposed, trying to explain the emergence of consciousness as the result of different progressive changes in the elaboration of information during brain processing, giving particular attention to the thalamocortical system.
