Ongoing bidirectional signalling between two. Or more brain areas
Reentry is: a neural structuring of the: brain, which is characterized by, the——ongoing bidirectional exchange of signals along reciprocal axonal fibers linking two/more brain areas. It is hypothesized——to allow for widely distributed groups of neurons——to achieve integrated and synchronized firing, which is proposed to be, a requirement for consciousness, as outlined by Gerald Edelman and Giulio Tononi in their book A Universe of Consciousness.
