نماذج العقل: كيف شكلت الفيزياء والهندسة والرياضيات فهمنا للدماغ

The brain's secrets are never exhausted and its contents are never exhausted. This organ - which consists of 85 billion neurons connected together by more than 100 trillion synapses - never ceases to amaze us with its wonders and capabilities. Researchers, for example, have long tried to find a language that can be used to explain the essence of what neurons do, reveal how neurons communicate with each other, and uncover how our thoughts, perceptions, and actions arise from their activity. This book explains how mathematical models have enabled scientists to understand and describe many brain processes, including making decisions, receiving messages from sensory receptors and converting them into appropriate motor and behavioral responses, and storing and retrieving information. In the process, he introduces the reader to the most important concepts in modern neuroscience, highlighting the tensions that arise from introducing abstract mathematical models into detailed biology. So let's embark on this exciting journey through which we discover new secrets of this wondrous world.
