Our brain allows us to perceive, think and act through complex interactions between neurons. EU-funded researchers worked to elucidate the non-random dynamics of neuronal networks.
Researchers on the project NONRANDOM CIRCUITS (Origin and function of nonrandom cortical connectivities) used simplified assumptions to understand the dynamics of neurons and the way they connect with each other. Their idea was to identify how the brain processes information via local circuits, which are nothing but densely interconnected networks of several thousand neurons.
