Recent studies have determined that the nervous system can sense and respond to signals
from skeletal tissue, a process known as skeletal interoception, which is crucial for …

Symmetries are widespread invariances underscoring countless systems, including the
brain. A symmetry break occurs when the symmetry is present at one level of observation but …

Current advances in neurosciences deal with the functional architecture of the central
nervous system, paving the way for general theories that improve our understanding of brain …

Brain activity takes place in three spatial-plus time dimensions. This rather obvious claim
has been recently questioned by papers that, taking into account the big data outburst and …

Recent approaches to brain phase spaces reinforce the foremost role of symmetries and
energy requirements in the assessment of nervous activity. Changes in thermodynamic …

Calcium waves are generated from the astrocyte endoplasmatic reticulum, in response to
neuronal electrochemical stimulation. The waves feed back on neurons, modulating …

Contrary to common belief, the brain appears to increase the complexity from the perceived
object to the idea of it. Topological models predict indeed that:(a) increases in …

The minimum frustration principle (MFP) is a computational approach stating that, over the
long time scales of evolution, proteins' free energy decreases more than expected by …

Inspired by the extensive signal processing capabilities of the human nervous system,
neuromorphic artificial sensory systems have emerged as a pivotal technology in advancing …

Recent advances in neuroscience highlight the complexity of the central nervous system
(CNS) and call for general, multidisciplinary theoretical approaches. The aim of this chapter …
