Atlanta [US], April 15 (ANI): The findings of a new study by physicists at Emory University suggest that the dynamics of the neural activity of a mouse brain behave in a peculiar, unexpected way that can be theoretically modeled without any fine-tuning.
Physical Review Letters published the research, which adds to the evidence that theoretical physics frameworks may aid in the understanding of large-scale brain activity.
"Our theoretical model agrees with previous experimental work on the brains of mice to a few per cent accuracy -- a degree which is highly unusual for living systems," says Ilya Nemenman, Emory professor of physics and biology and senior author of the paper.
