cerebrum
The Reticular Activating System prioritizes information flowing into the brain. The RAS controls the Flight or Fight response, regulates sleep-wake transitions, and controls focusing ability and motor control during consciousness. What does not require immediate attention may be shunted to a lower priority area of the brain.
Consciousness
Consciousness is controlled by the cerebrum of our brain.
Consciousness is a complex phenomenon and is not localized to one specific area of the brain. It is believed to involve widespread neural activity and interactions across various regions of the brain, including the prefrontal cortex, parietal cortex, and thalamus. The exact mechanisms of consciousness and its neural correlates are still not fully understood.
Neurons are nerve cells. Neurons in the brain are involved in thinking and perceiving and consciousness and control of the body, and neurons elsewhere in the body communicate with the brain.
No single part of the brain is responsible for consciousness. The brainstem, diencephalon, and cerebral hemispheres are all involved in consciousness.
Some unanswered questions about consciousness include: What is the exact nature of consciousness? How does consciousness arise from the brain's neural activity? Can consciousness exist independently of the physical brain?

Humans lose consciousness when the oxygen supply to the brain gets low.
