"The absence of a neocortex does not appear to preclude an organism from
experiencing affective states. Convergent evidence indicates that
non-human animals have the neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and
neurophysiological substrates of conscious states along with the
capacity to exhibit intentional behaviors. Consequently, the weight of
evidence indicates that humans are not unique in possessing the
neurological substrates that generate consciousness. Non-human animals,
including all mammals and birds, and many other creatures, including
octopuses, also possess these neurological substrates."
