The brain on the edge of chaos: What keeps our vision under control?
Every glance triggers a complex exchange of signals among millions of neurons. Some cells excite the network, others inhibit it, while additional signals arrive from the thalamus and neuromodulatory systems.
AI Summary
Every glance initiates a complex exchange of signals among millions of neurons, with some cells providing excitation and others inhibition, while additional inputs arrive from the thalamus and neuromodulatory systems. This neural activity does not follow a regular clock‑like pattern. Despite the irregular timing, the brain reliably recognizes faces, judges the direction of an approaching car, and reads signs even as conditions shift rapidly.
