Neural Number Crunching: Why Mammal Brains Favor Lognormal Patterns

Posted by in categories: computing, neuroscience

Summary: New research delves into how the statistical distributions of neuron densities shape mammalian brains.

The study analyzed seven species, discovering that neuron densities follow a lognormal distribution – a fundamental organizational principle. This distribution is distinct due to its asymmetric curve and is significant for understanding brain connectivity and the design of brain-inspired technology.

As many attributes of the brain align with this distribution, it hints at its potential computational benefits.
