A new study looks for the cortical conscious network August 26, 2016 by Ramat Gan Credit: the hierarchy of the human cortex, Figure 4,  New J. Phys . 18 (2016) 083013. New research published in the  New Journal of Physics  tries to decompose the structural layers of the cortical network to different hierarchies enabling to identify the network's nucleus, from which our consciousness could emerge. The  brain  is a very complex network, with approximately 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion synapses between the neurons. In order to cope with its enormous complexity and to understand how brain function eventually creates the conscious mind, science uses advanced mathematical tools. Ultimately, scientists want to understand how a global phenomenon such as consciousness can emerge from our neuronal network. A team of physicists from Bar Ilan University in Israel led by Professor Shlomo Havlin and Professor Reuven Cohen used network theory in order t...
