      "There are, grossly speaking, two kinds of nervous system organization that are important to understanding how consciousness evolved. These systems are very different in their organization...

      The first concerned with appetite, sexual and consummatory behavior, and evolved defensive behavior patterns. It is a value system; it is extensively connected to many different body organs, the endocrine system, and the autonomic nervous system. It will come as no surprise to learn that the circuits respond relatively slowly (in periods ranging from seconds to months), and that they do not consist of detailed maps. They have been selected during evolution to match the body, not to match large numbers of unanticipated signals from the outside world. These systems evolved early to take care of bodily functions; they are systems of the interior.

      The second major nervous system organization is quite different. It is called the thalamocortical system. The thalamocortical system consists of the thalamus and the cortex acting together, a system that evolved to receive signals from sensory receptor sheets and to give signals to voluntary muscles. It is very fast in its responses (taking from milliseconds to seconds), although its synaptic connections undergo some changes that last a lifetime... [T]he cerebral cortex, is arranged in a set of maps, which receive inputs from the outside world via the thalamus. Unlike the limbic-brain stem system, it does not contain loops so much as highly connected, layered local structures with massively reentrant connections. In many places these are topographically arranged.

      The cerebral cortex is a structure adapted to receive a dense and rapid series of signals from the world through many sensory modalities simultaneously... It evolved later than the limbic-brainstem system to permit increasingly sophisticated motor behavior and the categorization of world events. To handle time, as well as space, the cortical appendages - the cerebellum, basal ganglia, and hippocampus - evolved along with the cortex to deal with succession both in actual motion and in memory."
