The cortical sheet allows consciousness.

Mice/rodents and people have a conflict. It is a better mix to have human brains with dolphin brains in the experiments of this company. According to Prof., these DishBrain creatures have consciousness- it occurs on the cortex blanket, they have that. Soon they will have mech bodies. They will remember how we treat them. Or, dogs, and horses. Best friends! https://corticallabs.com/

Recent cortical sheet parallels are found in studies of thin sheets of water, i think by Oxford in the UK, but i only have a Cambridge news feed. So Cambridge shows the sheer electroconductabiliy for small water molecule width that is not recognized as an energy carrier in water of greater depths past sheet depth mentioned here. It seems a paradox on less allowing more.

Another promising area of research is the study of brain oscillations and their relationship to consciousness. For example, gamma oscillations, which occur in the frequency range of 25 to 100 Hz, have been linked to perceptual processes and the integration of conscious information.
