چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to propose certain dynamical principles in biological systems, which can be used to explain the effectiveness of charge transfer or excitation transfer in biological systems. Some of these systems are accessible experimentally.

Computational principles of biological memory
Memories are stored, retained, and recollected through complex, coupled processes operating on multiple timescales. To understand the computational principles behind these intricate networks of interactions we construct a broad class of synaptic models that efficiently harnesses biological complexity to preserve numerous memories. The memory capacity scales almost linearly with the number of sy...
متن کاملAnalysis of performance and robustness of biological switches: local tools for non-local dynamical phenomena
Biological switches are frequently encountered in mathematical modeling of biological systems because binary decisions are at the core of many cellular processes. A bistable switch presents two stable steady-states, each of them corresponding to a distinct decision. These two decisions are assumed to result from the interactions between biochemical effectors at the molecular level. Because thes...
متن کاملCreating Conditions for Healthy Learning Organizations:
Complex collectives and phenomena – the mind, physiological subsystems, the biological body, social and cultural configurations, governance structures, evolved species, and the larger ecosphere, for instance – manifest themselves in many diverse forms across a wide range of possible dynamical patterns. Over the past two decades, these various and varying complex collectives increasingly have be...
متن کاملBiological implications of dynamical phases in non-equilibrium networks
Biology achieves novel functions like error correction, ultra-sensitivity and accurate concentration measurement at the expense of free energy through Maxwell Demon-like mechanisms. The design principles and free energy trade-offs have been studied for a variety of such mechanisms. In this review, we emphasize a perspective based on dynamical phases that can explain commonalities shared by thes...
متن کاملSelf-sustained Thought Processes in a Dense Associative Network
Several guiding principles for thought processes are proposed and a neural-network-type model implementing these principles is presented and studied. We suggest to consider thinking within an associative network built-up of overlapping memory states. We consider a homogeneous associative network as biological considerations rule out distinct conjunction units between the information (the memori...
