Answer to Question #149652 in Human Anatomy and Physiology for Pieck

Question

Why level of conciousness is the most sensetive indicator of nervous system functioning?

Answer 1

Level of consciousness is the ability of a person to get awareness and understanding of what is happening in his or her environment.

Consciousness indicates a self-sufficient, balanced vital process of the brain activity which helps humans tune into a constantly changing environment.

During unconsciousness, the connection in the brain gets disrupted and greater modularity creates a surrounding that is unfavorable to the kind of efficient information transfer that is required for consciousness.
