A recent single-neuron study revealed an anatomical anterior-to-posterior gradient of awareness-related responses by 'concept neurons' in the human medial temporal lobe (MTL). Delayed and weaker responses were indicative of the failure of a stimulus to reach awareness, suggesting that reliable fast responses are a critical aspect of the neural mechanisms of consciousness.
最近的一项单神经元研究揭示了人类内侧颞叶（MTL）中的“概念神经元”对意识相关反应存在从前往后的解剖梯度。延迟和较弱的反应表明刺激未能达到意识，这表明可靠的快速反应是意识神经机制的一个关键方面。
