Does it make sense to speak of "Universal Consciousness" or "Universal Intelligence"?

So, our best available "evidence" of this effect seems to happen to people who suffer from Alzheimer's, but this disease attacks mostly the brain areas dedicated to memory, not so much for the actual functioning of consciousness.... so we don't really have much evidence of what you're asking.
We can conjecture, based on what we see happening to Alzheimer's patients.... and that is a slow decline in memories, never quite reaching zero memory, before the patient suffers some terminal malady, often from the failure of some autonomous system that also gets affected by the disease.

Alzheimer's is a good example because it affects memory, thinking, and behavior.
