Physicists develop theoretical model for neural activity of mouse brain
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, suggests a new paper by physicists at Emory University. 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 percent accuracy — a degree which is highly unusual for living systems,” says Ilya Nemenman, Emory professor of physics ...
