The brain is a very dynamic and temporally evolving organization of living neurons and other support glial cells. These neurons and glial cells work together in a complex and sophisticated manner to orchestrate various cognitive and physiological functions. Neuronal assemblies form intricate networks throughout the brain, interconnecting and communicating to facilitate information processing, storage, and retrieval. These networks enable the brain to manage numerous sensory functions, including vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, allowing individuals to interact with and interpret the world around them. However, the structure of these neural networks is intricate and often challenging to comprehend. Understanding the organization of these networks presents a significant challenge, requiring a multidisciplinary approach that integrates knowledge from fields such as neuroscience, computer science, and mathematics. This network theory raises thought-provoking questions about the fundamental principles governing the brain’s organization and function.
