Loss of consciousness is most likely with damage to alerting areas of the brain in the midbrain and brain stem. While the cortex is implicated in conscious processes, it is a large and redundant structure. Loss of cortex is more likely to result in a deficit of specific functions such as speech comprehension or production then complete loss of consciousness.
