On the fractal distribution of brain synapses
Speaker:

Affiliation:
Center for Advanced Computation, Reed College Abstract
Analysis of brain-synapse coordinates in actual mouse-brain tissue has recently revealed that the synapses are not randomly distributed. So is there a pattern? In a sense, yes; in another sense, no. The lecture will touch upon such as: Fractal sets and their fractional dimensions, how to construct fractals that agree with real-world laboratory distributions, and connections with the modern theory of box integrals.
