However, persons suffering a seizure are unable to respond to stimuli. Persons under general anesthesia are not conscious in order to prevent them from suffering pain.

[...] Some philosophers speak about consciousness as though some single mysterious entity connects our minds with the rest of the world. But 'consciousness' is only a name for a suitcase of methods that we use for thinking about our own minds. Inside that suitcase are assortments of things whose distinctions and differences are confused by our giving them all the same name. I suspect that these include many different processes that we use to keep track of what we've been doing and thinking-which might be the reason why we use the same word for them all. Many of them exploit the information that's held in the cache-like systems that we call short-term memories. When I ask if you're conscious of what you just did, that's almost the same as asking whether you 'remember' doing that. If you answer "yes" it must be because 'you' have access to some record of having done that. If I ask about how you did what you did, you usually cannot answer that-because the models that you make of yourself don't have access to any such memories.
- Consciousness is the state of being able to experience things. Consciousness comes in the form of the five senses: sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing. Consciousness can also take the form of thought. Being conscious protects us from danger and allows us to find food. Thus, it is a strong evolutionary advantage. Consciousness is caused by material interactions in the brain. At death, consciousness probably ends. However, many people, particularly conservatives, believe that consciousness continues after death, and that they go to a magical land where the Magical Sky Daddy lives. Either that, or go to a place to be burned alive for eternity, for committing petty crimes. Recreational drugs, such as marijuana and LSD, alter the state of consciousness. Many drugs cause hallucinations and cause euphoria. Legal drugs, notably Alcohol also alter consciousness as do many prescription drugs. These drugs act on the brain and show that the brain is critical in determining consciousness.

- Consciousness is a quality of the mind generally regarded to comprise qualities such as self-awareness, sentience, sapience, and the ability to perceive the relationship between oneself and one's environment. In common parlance, consciousness denotes being awake and responsive to one's environment; this contrasts with being asleep or being in a coma. Consciousness is notoriously difficult to define or locate. Many cultures and religious traditions place the seat of consciousness in a soul separate from the body. Conversely, many scientists and philosophers consider consciousness to be intimately linked to the neural functioning of the brain. An understanding of necessary preconditions for consciousness in the human brain may allow us to address important ethical questions. For instance, to what extent are non-human animals conscious? At what point in fetal development does consciousness begin? Can machines ever achieve conscious states? These issues are of great interest to those concerned with the ethical treatment of other beings, be they animals, fetuses, or in the future, machines.

However, such persons can be brought back to consciousness by removing the application of the anesthetic. As such, other forms of unconsciousness are always a sign of a serious medical condition. In such states, the patient cannot be brought back to consciousness without serious medical intervention. There are several causes of such unconsciousness, such as concussion, insulin shock, or blood loss. There are five major classifications of loss of consciousness:
* Locked-in syndrome - The patient has awareness, normal sleep-wake cycles, and meaningful behavior
* Minimally conscious state - The patient has occasional awareness, waking moments, and meaningful behavior.
* Vegetative state - The patient has normal sleep-wake cycles, but no awareness or meaningful behavior.
* Coma - the patient lacks awareness and sleep-wake cycles, and has only reflexes
* Brain death - total lack of awareness, sleep-wake cycles, or behavior.

* Like 'existence', the concept 'consciousness' is also axiomatic in nature. Objectivism affirms that existence exists, and that consciousness also exists. Consciousness is consciousness of existence, and is therefore dependent upon existence for three primary reasons: first, since consciousness is consciousness of objects, ie, of existence, any act of consciousness presupposes existence cognitively in that it has an object(s) (ie, there can be no consciousness without existence, without something to be conscious of); second, cosciousness presupposes existence biologically (the senses and perceptual integration, neurology, etc.), and therefore a physical body; third, consciousness presupposes existence teleologically in that it has a www.geocities.com/Athens/Sparta/1019/AFE/Definitions.htm
* a philosophical explanation of what consciousness is or how it might be explained eludes us. If we stick to what it is like to be a conscious human being, we have no explanation; if we try to explain consciousness in terms of what goes on in our brains, the sheer feel of consciousness itself is left aside. www.filosofia.net/materiales/rec/glosaen.htm

* [from Latin conscio knowing with, knowing together] The active state of spirit or the supreme fundamental in manifested existence. Like light, consciousness can become manifest only by means of a vehicle, and it can have various degrees of manifestation according to the planes. Individual consciousness originates in the Logos of any hierarchy. Every manifested entity is conscious to some degree, and is an expression of divine consciousness or spirit. Buddhi is said to be latent spiritual consciousness which becomes manifest intellectually in manas, so far as the human constitution goes (SD 2:275). Human consciousness is also closely linked to www.theosociety.org/pasadena/etgloss/ci-cz.htm
* A “knowing together,” a state of awareness, the knowledge one has of himself in the midst of his environment, and of himself as affected by that environment. Physiologically, consciousness is the result of the activity of certain neurons of the cortical stratum zonale. Consciousness is not localized, but the quality of consciousness at any given time depends upon the metabolism of the cortical neurons, and of their relationships in function, at that particular time. Consciousness must be considered, physiologically, as dependent upon the activity of certain cortical neurons, but not necessarily as their chief function. www.meridianinstitute.com/eamt/files/burns3/bur3glos.html
* this is a huge topic in Buddhism and cannot easily be described. For some Buddhist traditions, built on the mind-only understanding of existence, consciousness or mind refers to both the individual body–mind of any one person or being, and also the intrinsic, luminous, fully Enlightened mind that has transpersonal aspects. On a simple level, when Buddhists talk about mind they are including such things as feelings, emotions, volitions, perceptions and also bodily sensations; hence, the mind and body are not considered in Buddhism to be split as in western philosophy. www.ethnicityonline.net/buddhism_glossary.htm
