目前，研究人员还不清楚大脑中的哪种活动导致意识的出现——潜意识或无意识。目前的文献表明，意识在大脑中是孤立的。然而，我们认为除了感觉意识之外，意识还来自潜意识和无意识活动。本文认为，感觉意识源于神经生理学大脑活动、内部空间、感觉信息以及通过视觉、嗅觉、外皮系统、味觉和听觉对外部和内部环境的并行处理。传统上，横向抑制被定义为兴奋的神经元横向抑制其邻居的能力，并且是所有意义上的神经生理学的组成部分。在本文中，我们将外周受体中间神经元中伽马波活动的成熟生理学观察背后的科学与目前未知的皮质-丘脑伽马振荡中看似无关的伽马活动的功能意义联系起来。我们认为这可以实现大脑与感觉受体的瞬时整合。本文利用现有的侧向抑制文献来研究其在感觉器官和身体各个部位的作用。我们解释为什么感觉意识只是统一意识的一个组成部分。我们认为侧抑制在意识理论中也起着至关重要的作用，理解这一点有助于说明体内中枢神经系统和周围神经系统之间的动态相互作用。
At present, researchers are unclear about which activity within the brain is responsible for the emergence of consciousness—the subconscious or unconscious. Current literature suggests that consciousness is isolated in the brain; however, we suggest consciousness emerges from both—subconscious and unconscious activity, in addition to sensory consciousness. This article contends that sensory consciousness arises from neurophysiological brain activity, intrapersonal space, sensory information, and parallel processing of the external and internal environment through vision, olfaction, the integumentary system, gustation, and audition. Traditionally, lateral inhibition is defined as the ability for an excited neuron to laterally inhibit its neighbors, and is an integral part of neurophysiology in all senses. In this article, we are connecting the science behind the well-established physiological observations of gamma wave activity in the interneurons of peripheral receptors with what is currently unknown regarding the functional significance of seemingly unrelated gamma activity in the cortico-thalamic gamma oscillations. We suggest that this allows for instantaneous integration of the brain with sensory receptors. This article uses existing literature on lateral inhibition to investigate its role in sensory organs and various areas of the body. We explain how sensory consciousness is only one component of unified consciousness. We propose that lateral inhibition also plays a vital role in consciousness theory, and understanding this can help illustrate the dynamic interactions between the central and peripheral nervous systems within the body.
