A recent study reveals that Earth's geological transitions follow a hidden hierarchical, multifractal pattern, suggesting that the apparent chaos in Earth's history is structured and predictable over long timescales, with implications for understanding past and future planetary changes.
A recent study discovered a hidden hierarchical, multifractal pattern in Earth's geological transitions, suggesting that Earth's history follows a complex, structured cascade of events over at least 500 million years, which could improve understanding of past and future planetary changes.
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.
Scientists have discovered a strange mathematical pattern within the cells of the human body. Regardless of the total number of cells, if they are grouped according to their function, the proportions for each individual remain the same. This suggests a whole-organism trade-off between cell size and count, indicating the existence of cell-size homeostasis across cell types. The body produces fewer larger cells and more smaller cells, and any deviation from their scale can indicate the presence of disease. The researchers hope that future studies will uncover how the body naturally regulates cells.
