The definition of consciousness remains a difficult issue that requires urgent understanding and resolution. Currently, consciousness research is an intensely focused area of neuroscience. However, to establish a greater understanding of the concept of consciousness, more detailed, intrinsic neurobiological research is needed. Additionally, an accurate assessment of the level of consciousness may strengthen our awareness of this concept and provide new ideas for patients undergoing clinical treatment of consciousness disorders. In addition, research efforts that help elucidate the concept of consciousness have important scientific and clinical significance. This review presents the latest progress in consciousness research and proposes our assumptions with regard to the network of consciousness.
意识的定义仍然是一个亟待理解和解决的难题。目前,意识研究是神经科学中一个高度聚焦的领域。然而,为了更深入地理解意识的概念,需要进行更详细的、内在的神经生物学研究。此外,对意识水平的准确评估可能会增强我们对这一概念的认识,并为接受意识障碍临床治疗的患者提供新思路。此外,有助于阐明意识概念的研究工作具有重要的科学和临床意义。本综述介绍了意识研究的最新进展,并提出了我们关于意识网络的假设。
