Two Kinds Of Nervous System Organization "'There are, grossly speaking, two kinds of nervous system organization that are important to understanding how consciousness evolved. These systems are very different in their organization, even though they are both made up of neurons. (...) The two systems, limbic brain-stem and thalamocortical, were linked during evolution. The later-evolving cortical system served learning behavior that was adaptive to increasingly complex environments.'
