Reentry (neural circuitry)
Reentry is a neural structuring of the brain, specifically in humans, which is hypothesized to allow for widely distributed groups of neurons to achieve integrated and synchronized firing,[1] which is proposed to be a requirement for consciousness, as outlined by Gerald Edelman and Giulio Tononi in their book A Universe of Consciousness (2000).[2]
