claimDifferent neural mechanisms in the human brain are specialized for solving specific problems encountered in humanity's evolutionary past.
claimThe human brain has evolved specialized neural mechanisms designed to solve problems that recurred over deep evolutionary time, resulting in what is described as 'stone-age minds' in modern humans.
claimMost contents and processes of the human brain are unconscious, and many mental tasks that appear simple are actually complex problems solved unconsciously by complicated neural mechanisms.

The Hard Problem of Consciousness | Springer Nature Link link.springer.com 1 fact
claimDavid Chalmers argues that while the 'easy problems' of consciousness can be explained by specifying neural or computational mechanisms, the 'hard problem' remains because explaining cognitive and behavioral functions leaves an open question regarding why the performance of these functions is accompanied by experience.
Hard problem of consciousness - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org 1 fact
claimDavid Chalmers argues that facts about neural mechanisms and behaviors do not lead to facts about conscious experience, as conscious experience constitutes further facts that are not derivable from facts about the brain.

claimChronic sleep deprivation among Japanese students may disrupt the neural mechanisms underlying memory consolidation, leading to a decline in verbal learning and memory performance.
