Este trabalho estuda, do ponto de vista materialista, o debate sobre qual é a sede física da “consciência primária”, ou seja, da forma mais básica de consciência, envolvendo sensações e emoções. Examinamos historicamente o problema de se tal sensório é localizado em uma pequena região do encéfalo ou se a consciência é distribuída de maneira holista. Destaque é dado aos escritos de neurofisiologistas da década de 1950, que se dividiam entre a afirmação de que a sede da consciência primária é subcortical, e visões mais holistas como a da tese da homogeneidade (funcionalismo). Busca-se explicar a transição que ocorreu ao final da década de 1960, com o papel predominante que se passou a dar para o neocórtex. A finalidade filosófica deste trabalho é regatar a importância da tese subcorticalista.
