Unveiling universal aspects of the cellular anatomy of the brain | ResearchBunny

Index

Abstract

This research quantifies the complexity of brain anatomy at the cellular level and demonstrates that it follows universal scaling laws, indicative of structural criticality. By analyzing properties related to cell size and correlations in volumetric brain reconstructions from humans, mice, and fruit flies, the authors estimate critical exponents that are consistent across organisms. These universal quantities are robust to microscopic details, facilitating the development of generative computational models of brain structure and clarifying inter-species anatomical comparisons.
