Summary
Unlocking the Brain: How Mathematical Models Illuminate the Mind
The brain, a complex network of 85 billion neurons interconnected by over 100 trillion synapses, has long been a subject of intense scientific inquiry. For over a century, researchers have sought a language capable of capturing the essence of neuronal function and communication – a language that could unlock the secrets of thoughts, perceptions, and actions. That language is mathematics, and our current understanding o…
