Did Koch's theory show further "sprouting" since this 2003 publication.

I think the consciousness is a live and continuous flow of thinks and ideas between neocortex and paleocortex (i.e. prefrontal lobe and limbic system) and all of diseases which disrupt this connection make us unconscious.

Have you read the famous Crick paper about consciousness?

Crick & Koch (2003) A framework for consciousness, Nature Neuroscience, 6 (2), 119-126: http://www.klab.caltech.edu/Papers/438.pdf

One of the main ideas is the comparison between the slower conscious mode and the many automatic but faster "zombie" modes that characterizes the activity of our brain.

Interestingly the same difference, using other words, allowed Kahneman to obtain the Nobel prize in economics in 2002:

http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/economics/laureates/2002/kahnema...

Here are his words: "In the model that will be presented here, the perceptual system and the intuitive operations of System 1 generate impressions of the attributes of objects of perception and thought. These impressions are not voluntary and need not be verbally explicit. In contrast, judgments are always explicit and intentional, whether or not they are overtly expressed. Thus, System 2 is involved in all judgments, whether they originate in impressions or in deliberate reasoning. The label ‘intuitive’ is applied to judgments that directly reflect impressions."
