Major theories of consciousness, including Higher-Order Theories (HOT), Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT), Integrated Information Theory (IIT), and Recurrent Processing Theory (RPT), suggest that neural feedback or recurrent processing mechanisms are necessary for consciousness. These mechanisms originate from different areas depending on the theory: higher-order areas for HOT, the global workspace for GNWT, the posterior hot zone for IIT, and local sensory areas for RPT.
