Does Jaynes have a Neurological Model of Consciousness?

TL;DR Has Jaynes published anything about his thoughts on the neurological model of a conscious brain? (He only published his neurological model on the Bicameral Brain).
So far I have read three books on Jaynes' theory:
1) The classic "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind". (I actually read this book twice. Fascinating!)
2) Reflections on the Dawn of Consciousness
3) The Julian Jaynes Collection
I think in either (2) or (3) (I don't have the exact page, sorry) he mentions that he has so far not specified a neurological model of a conscious mind. I highly doubt that a researcher at his caliber hasn't thought about that problem and doesn't have opinions! So I'm just wondering if there is a later publication or paper (or maybe an unpublished manuscript?) that documents his thoughts. Thanks!
