RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Neurobiology as information physics JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 060467 DO 10.1101/060467 A1 Sterling Street YR 2016 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/07/06/060467.abstract AB This article reviews the preliminary results of an analysis of the brain that may supplement our current understanding of its structure and function, even if by falsification. This analysis seems to reveal that the information in a system of the brain can be quantified to an appreciable degree of objective precision, that many qualitative properties of the information content of a system of the brain can be inferred by observing matter and energy, and that many general features of the brain’s anatomy and architecture illustrate simple information-energy relationships. It is possible that the brain provides a unique window into the relationship between matter, energy, and physical information.
