Five reasons why Brain Research merits a change of Focus
... The brain is the organ with the highest information density per unit volume and mass. In the brain, information is channeled through four cellular networks; neuron-neuron, neuron-astrocyte, astrocyte-neuron and astrocyte-astrocyte network. The networks in the brain differ from material hardware by t ...
