brains and consciousness

In the class, I said I think the study on the brain only tells us how brain works and how we behave, but it doesn't tell us how we think. And later we mentioned the notions "consciousness" and "unconsciousness".  And I still feel that the structure of the brain or the function of the brain doesn't help us to understand the consciousness better. I think consciousness is how we think, and to understand how we think, we need to understand how our consciousness works, which I don't think is what Psychology focuses on.
