Abstract
This chapter summarizes a theory of consciousness based on brain structure and dynamics. The theory centers around the notion of reentry--on-going recursive signaling across multiple reciprocally connected brain regions present mainly in the thalamocortical system. It recognized the fundamental beginnings provided by the complementary efforts of Ramón y Cajal and William James.Mesh:
