Inhibitory Synapses Found to Steer Brain Networks Toward Criticality

Original: How the Reach of Inhibitory Synapses Steers Brain Networks Toward Criticality

New research examines how the reach of inhibitory synapses guides brain networks toward a critical state, where neural activity balances between order and chaos. Scientists say this tuning may be key to understanding how the brain optimizes information processing, with implications for studying neurological disorders and network dynamics in neuroscience.

Why now: Fresh neuroscience research offering insight into how brain circuits self-organize is drawing attention in the science community.
