The interface between the experiencer and the experienced consists of the group of dendritic arbor synapses active during an event of mental consciousness, ranging in complexity from the neuropil in the cerebral ganglia of a primitive sea star to the pyramidal neuron/interneuron framework of a human neocortex; dendritic arbors also function as repositories of memories encoded in the configuration of synaptic spines.
