Chaos in the brain and in sensory neurons
The brain is а complex organ, possibly among the most complex in the universe. The possibility exists therefore that chaotic dynamics is one of its characteristics. But sensory neurons аге also complex and such processes also may be found in them. Here we show some experimental data from electroreceptors оf catfish and hypothalamic neurons from the paraventricular nucleus оf rat brain slices. The data show the presence оf unstable periodic orbits, one of the signatures оf low dimensional chaotic dynamics. Professor Vadim S. Anishchenko was a very early pioneer of fundamental studies of chaos and continues to make innovative, inspiring and original contributions to the science оf complexity in аll fields.
