Abhidhamma (Sanskrit Abhidharma) is a set of ancient Buddhist texts that contain detailed scholastic presentations of doctrinal material appearing in the Buddhist sutras -- explained in ultimate rather than conventional terms.

Mind & Body (Sayalay Susila)
The term also refers to the scholastic method itself, as well as the field of knowledge that this method is said to study. American scholar-monk Bhikkhu Bodhi (Jeffrey Block) calls it "an abstract and highly technical systemization of [Buddhist] doctrine," which is "simultaneously a philosophy, a psychology, and a [system of] ethics, all integrated into the framework of a program for liberation."

What are "consciousness" and "mind"? Buddhism knows. Read about it in Unravelling the Mysteries of Mind & Body Through Abhidhamma by Sayalay Susila and edited by Dhr. Seven.
