Image for: Two brains - one thought


Different neuronal networks can bear the same pattern of activity - as shown in this example of a network made of 16 neurons. Similarly, the exact neuronal structures of the circuits in a human brain can differ from person to person, yet at the same time can display a comparable dynamics and the same functions. With the help of theoretical models, Memmesheimer and Timme can now deduce the possible structures from the neuronal dynamics.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
