Colloquium: Criticality and dynamical scaling in living systems

MA Munoz - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2018 - APS
A celebrated and controversial hypothesis suggests that some biological systems—parts,
aspects, or groups of them—may extract important functional benefits from operating at the …

[HTML][HTML] Self-organized criticality as a framework for consciousness: A review study

N Walter, T Hinterberger - Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Objective No current model of consciousness is univocally accepted on either theoretical or
empirical grounds, and the need for a solid unifying framework is evident. Special attention …

Effects of autapse on the chimera state in a Hindmarsh-Rose neuronal network

S Aghababaei, S Balaraman, K Rajagopal… - Chaos, Solitons & …, 2021 - Elsevier
Autapse is introduced as a self-feedback connection that connects the dendrites and axons
of the same neuron. Previous studies have revealed that the existence of the autapse can …

A topological approach unveils system invariances and broken symmetries in the brain

A Tozzi, JF Peters - Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Self-organizing complex networks: individual versus global rules

K Mahmoodi, BJ West, P Grigolini - Frontiers in physiology, 2017 - frontiersin.org
We introduce a form of Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) inspired by the new generation of
evolutionary game theory, which ranges from physiology to sociology. The single individuals …

Electromagnetism's bridge across the explanatory gap: How a neuroscience/physics collaboration delivers explanation into all theories of consciousness

CG Hales, M Ericson - Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 - frontiersin.org
A productive, informative three decades of correlates of phenomenal consciousness (P-
Consciousness) have delivered valuable knowledge while simultaneously locating us in a …

Towards a fourth spatial dimension of brain activity

A Tozzi, JF Peters - Cognitive Neurodynamics, 2016 - Springer

Stability of neuronal avalanches and long-range temporal correlations during the first year of life in human infants

M Jannesari, A Saeedi, M Zare, S Ortiz-Mantilla… - Brain Structure and …, 2020 - Springer
During infancy, the human brain rapidly expands in size and complexity as neural networks
mature and new information is incorporated at an accelerating pace. Recently, it was shown …

Heterogeneity and delayed activation as hallmarks of self-organization and criticality in excitable tissue

A Stožer, R Markovič, J Dolenšek, M Perc… - Frontiers in …, 2019 - frontiersin.org

several real-life systems and entails an emergent activity in which the extent of observables …

The multidimensional brain

A Tozzi - Physics of Life Reviews, 2019 - Elsevier
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 …
