> What is consciousness? The firing of a gazillion synapses you will never fully understand.
But then you realize that transcripton factors (genes that activate or inhibit other genes) form networks with feedback loops that are conceptually equivalent to neural networks, and some cells grow camera-like eyes complete with a retina and a lens [1].
It isn't about neurons per se, more about the way information is treated by these systems.
