New study suggests universal laws govern brain structure, from mice to men

SciTechDaily

Researchers at Northwestern University have discovered that the structural features of the brain are almost at a critical point, similar to a phase transition, observed in various species such as humans, mice and fruit flies. This finding suggests that a universal principle could govern brain structure, which could inspire new computational models to mimic the … Read more
