Randomness in the Nervous System

Submitted by joycetheriot on Fri, 07/16/2010 - 12:13pm.

I am fascinated by the idea of the ancestral random noise in all nervous systems. This is similar to mutations giving evolution the means of change and therefore diversity. In addition, we also see the diversity of human brains perhaps fed by this randomness element. It’s so interesting that there is this mechanism with which we have no control or awareness.
