Networks in Neuroscience: The Problem of Stability in the Face of Constant Change

Abstract

NETWORKS IN NEUROSCIENCE: (1) Every individual neuron contains complex networks of interacting biochemical and molecular processes. (2) The nervous system consists of networks of networks. NEUROSCIENTISTS ATTEMPT TO: (1) Determine how functions are localized in neuronal circuits; (2) Determine the properties of the synaptic wiring and excitability of individual neurons that constitute a network; (3) Explain how network performance arises from the interactions of the components.
