Resumen de Like clockwork

Anil Ananthaswamy

  • While no one is questioning whether brain cells use electrical and biochemical signals to talk to each other, others think that's only part of the story. It seems neurons are also hooked together in a mechanical network, like the cogs in a finely tuned clock. The forces that pass between them might be an unknown way for human brains to store memory and adapt quickly to new circumstances--ensuring that they always run like well-oiled machines. Not only could this help probe age-old questions about what makes thoughts go round, it also offers immediate practical benefits. Here, Ananthaswamy discusses how human brains may run mechanically, like the springs and cogs in a finely tuned watch.
