"Mathematical Patterns Evident in Brain Neuron Activity"

Scientists from the Human Brain Project have discovered that neurons in the brain are distributed according to a lognormal distribution, a mathematical pattern that could help in understanding brain function and developing treatments for neurological diseases. This distribution pattern, found across various species and brain regions, suggests that the brain's structure may be more than a byproduct of evolution and could be computationally advantageous. The findings, which are the result of analyzing open-source datasets from seven different species, may influence future neuroscience research and therapeutic approaches.

"The Hidden Equation: Unveiling the Mathematical Rule Governing Neuronal Distribution in the Brain"

Researchers from the Human Brain Project have discovered a fundamental organizational principle behind the distribution of neuron densities in the mammalian brain. Analyzing datasets from seven species, they found that neuron densities within cortical areas follow a consistent lognormal distribution pattern. This finding has implications for brain modeling, network connectivity, and the design of brain-inspired technologies. The lognormal distribution may serve a computational purpose, promoting efficient information transmission and enhancing the memory capacity of neural circuits.
