(Medical Xpress)—The understanding of human cognition has accelerated in the last decade thanks to the integration of network concepts derived from complex systems including airline transportation and the structure of the ...
(Medical Xpress)—Neuroscience has come to view schizophrenia as a disorder of brain network organization in which the topology of nodal connections is abnormally random. The origin of such network dysconnectivity, whether ...
Neurons in the brain are wired like a social network, report researchers from Biozentrum, University of Basel. Each nerve cell has links with many others, but the strongest bonds form between the few cells most similar to ...
