Structural determinants of criticality in biological networks
Many adaptive evolutionary systems display spatial and temporal features, such as long-range correlations, typically associated with the critical point of a phase transition in statistical physics. Empirical and theoretical studies suggest that operating near criticality enhances the functionality of biological networks, such as brain and gene networks, in terms for instance of information proc...
متن کاملBiological glass: structural determinants of eye lens transparency.
The purpose of the lens is to project a sharply focused, undistorted image of the visual surround onto the neural retina. The first pre-requisite, therefore, is that the tissue should be transparent. Despite the presence of remarkably high levels of protein, the lens cytosol remains transparent as a result of short-range-order interactions between the proteins. At a cellular level, the programm...
متن کاملTemporal and Structural Analysis of Biological Networks
Our project introduces a graph-based relational learning approach using graph-rewriting rules for temporal and structural analysis of biological networks changing over time. The analysis of dynamic biological networks is necessary to understand life at the system-level, because biological networks continuously change their structures and properties while an organism performs various biological ...
متن کاملStructural and dynamical analysis of biological networks.
Biological networks are currently being studied with approaches derived from the mathematical and physical sciences. Their structural analysis enables to highlight nodes with special properties that have sometimes been correlated with the biological importance of a gene or a protein. However, biological networks are dynamic both on the evolutionary time-scale, and on the much shorter time-scale...
متن کاملNeurobiologically Realistic Determinants of Self-Organized Criticality in Networks of Spiking Neurons
Self-organized criticality refers to the spontaneous emergence of self-similar dynamics in complex systems poised between order and randomness. The presence of self-organized critical dynamics in the brain is theoretically appealing and is supported by recent neurophysiological studies. Despite this, the neurobiological determinants of these dynamics have not been previously sought. Here, we sy...
