Zusammenfassung

The human brain is unrivaled in information processing and even does so at the energetic costs of a light bulb. Although we know several design elements of efficient neuroenergetics, the brain's unique processing power as a large-scale system is still a mystery. The hypothesis is that molecular and cellular metabolic principles can be integrated with theories from mathematics and physics to model systems level neuroenergetics. Recently, the group has scaled cellular data to metabolism of brain network communication in humans using novel, metabolic imaging approaches. Further, dynamic s...
