Regarding the maintenance of conscious percepts over time, Integrated Information Theory (IIT) predicts that conscious content is actively maintained by neural activity in the posterior ‘hot zone’ throughout the duration of a conscious experience, whereas Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT) predicts ignition events in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) at stimulus onset and offset, with activity-silent information maintenance in between.
