Is "brain" or "protoself" the subject of the highlighted sentence? And why? (I posted the same question a few minutes ago but it did not appear on the website. So, do not get furious please if you see it twice!)

Context:

Damasio posits that the ‘self’ operates at a base-level stage as a protoself, manifested in the brain’s routine and automatic mapping, constantly updating its many-faceted representations of the body. This gives rise to core-consciousness which occurs when the brain monitors itself in registering the need to respond to an object of attention by initiating action.
