In 1994, Antonio Damasio, a neurologist that studied the connection between reason and emotion wrote, Descartes Error. He discussed what he viewed as Descartes error the separation of mind & body. Damasio proposed that consciousness isn't just a brain function but involves the entire body. He suggests that the brain works in tandem with other biological systems like the endocrine and immune systems, emphasizing a holistic view of consciousness. Damasio, Antonio R.
