Please point me in the direction of more reading on the subject, I am most eager to learn.
Reported consciousness correlating to neurological activity propogating from frontal cortex to sensory areas of the brain:

Specific deficits in awareness part of consciousness correlating to damages in superior temporal sulcus and the temporo-parietal junction:
