The human brain is not a single organ, but two separate systems that evolved independently before fusing together, according to groundbreaking new research. … Armed with the knowledge of how hindbrain cells uniquely form, the team has successfully turned human stem cells into becoming functional hindbrain motor neurons in a lab for the first time.
Since you only feel like one person which brain has your consciousness
Look up the split brain experiments. They’re incredibly interesting.
We seem to have at least two consciousness, but for most people one of them is almost entirely unable to communicate with the outside world, only the verbal consciousness.
At least, it can observe and respond; I don’t know it has a subjective experience.
that sounds very interesting. do you have an overview you can point me to? thanks.

I don’t have links to research or summaries, tho.
The left half of my brain exploded!
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
I’m just speculating here but it might be more of ‘which organ does your consciousness reside?’
What if consciousness is procedural and utilizes both?
I feel like my brain presents me with ideas and I get to pick which ideas to act upon.
