Under general anesthesia, this property is blocked. Regardless of the type of the anesthetic agent, general anesthesia led to a rigid inflexible configuration of information flow within the brain: brain activity is maintained, but is restricted to physical anatomical connections, leaving it without the possibility of generating more flexible information flows.
