These cells, also known as Von Economo neurons (VENs), are localized in two parts of the cerebral cortex known to be associated with social behavior, consciousness, and emotion.
The most common clinical manifestation is a neurological disorder, such as delirious behavior, consciousness disturbance, and seizures.
Nevertheless, there are empirical grounds for concern that behavior suggesting consciousness in animals may be the product of unconscious processes.
(p. 33) I've argued elsewhere that what I call the "A" words, namely anthropomorphism and anecdote, play a large role in helping us to understand animal behavior and consciousness but they are not substitutes for solid science.
The fact that the power of ongoing γ oscillations is higher under anesthesia (also see Vanderwolf, 2000) suggests that the normal behavior and consciousness exert a certain "inhibitory control" in the generation of ongoing γ oscillations.

One day later, she had chills and delirious behavior followed by consciousness disturbance.
The explanatory power of the two extended TPB models was strong and almost the same, and the eight variables of attitude, habit, past behavior, subjective norm, face consciousness, conformity consciousness, perceived behavior control, and perceived ease were found to be significant predictors of hygienic food handling intention.
