Many specific parts of the brain, and many non-specific parts of the brain, as well as parts that have nothing to do with the brain. The problem is that we see consciousness as a function of the brain, when it is not. It's a function of the organism, and perhaps, by extension, of the universe. No one can explain all of the anecdotal anomalies of consciousness (certainly there are many others besides just the ones you mention), because there's no working, accurate model of consciousness to begin with.But ask a neuroscientist to do the same for your own experience of the smell of chocolate—to somehow delete this—and he or she would be faced with an impossible task since the experience is correlated with many different parts of the brain.
