Fractal and chaotic dynamics in nervous systems
Abstract
The chaotic aspects of brain structure and dynamics have been discussed. The relation of chaos to fractal processes in the brain from the neurosystems level down to the molecule has been explored. It is found that chaos appears to play an integral, though not necessarily exclusive role in function at all levels of organization from the neurosystems to the molecular and quantum levels. An interesting consequence involving the possible interface between chaotic dynamics and quantum physics has been discussed because of its potential significance is resolving several of the most intractable conceptual problems to do with computability, the brain and the mind (Blakemore and Greenfield, 1987; Hooper and Teresi, 1987; Rose, 1973; Searle, 1979; Penrose, 1986, 1989).
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a review, done in animal, not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
