Universal Organization of Resting Brain Activity at the Thermodynamic Critical Point

Universal Organization of Resting Brain Activity at the Thermodynamic Critical Point

Thermodynamic criticality describes emergent phenomena in a wide variety of complex systems. In the mammalian cortex, one type of complex dynamics that spontaneously emerges from neuronal interactions has been characterized as neuronal avalanches. Several aspects of neuronal avalanches such as thei...
