- proposed area of consciousness
- claustrum = layer of neurons + combines info from diff regions of brain

- electrode placed near claustrum = no response to enviro stimuli
- repeats = same results
- electrode removed = regained consciousness = no recall of event
- electrode placed near claustrum = no response to enviro stimuli
