Can the activities of the large scale cortical network be expressed by neural energy? A brief review

Cogn Neurodyn. 2016 Feb;10(1):1-5. doi: 10.1007/s11571-015-9354-0. Epub 2015 Sep 3.

Abstract

This paper mainly discusses and summarize that the changes of biological energy in the brain can be expressed by the biophysical energy we constructed. Different from the electrochemical energy, the biophysical energy proposed in the paper not only can be used to simulate the activity of neurons but also be used to simulate the neural activity of large scale cortical networks, so that the scientific nature of the neural energy coding was discussed.

Keywords: Biophysical energy; Energy of the large scale cortical network; Feeding the brain; Neuronal energy.
