Inhibitory Synapses Steer Brain Networks Toward Criticality
Original: How the Reach of Inhibitory Synapses Steers Brain Networks Toward Criticality
New research reported by Bioengineer.org suggests that the reach of inhibitory synapses—how far inhibitory neurons exert their influence—plays a key role in guiding brain networks toward a critical state. Criticality is believed to optimize information processing in the brain, balancing order and randomness. The findings shed light on how neuronal circuit structure may tune cortical dynamics and support healthy brain function.
Why now: The study offers new insight into a fundamental mechanism behind how brain networks self-organize for optimal processing.
