A modeling approach may significantly help to explore the problem of weak understanding of the physiological and pathological central nervous system function in the most noninvasive and comprehensive way. The aim of this chapter is to assess and discuss the extent to which possible opportunities concerning computational brain models based on fuzzy logic techniques may be exploited. IntroductionStructured networks and functional connections of interacting neural populations underlying both physiological and pathological central nervous system (CNS) function are still poorly understood. Interdisciplinarity and independence of research provide a variety of scientific approaches, used tools, and wide coverage and even overlapping of the research fields, especially as regards human research, including neuroscience [1]. The modeling approach may significantly help to explore the aforementioned problem in the most noninvasive way. The aim of this chapter is to assess and discuss the extent to which possible opportunities concerning computational brain models based on fuzzy logic techniques may be exploited.

“…This is not an easy task as it requires cooperation not only between groups of neuroanatomists with expertise in different techniques, but also close collaboration between those with expertise in quite different areas, like specialists in image analysis, data analysis, theory neuroscience, computation, molecular biology, physiology, among others. This is where large international projects come into play, the idea being to pool the efforts of multiple laboratories with different areas of expertise—coordinated through big worldwide projects like the Human Brain Project (HBP) based in the European Union and the Brain Activity Map based in the United States (Markram, 2013 ; Jorgenson et al, 2015 ; Zeki, 2015 ). Thanks to these and other initiatives that promote interdisciplinary collaboration and data sharing, such as the Allen Institute for Brain Research 1 or neuroinformatic platforms like NeuroMorpho.Org (Ascoli et al, 2007 ) and BAMS2 Workspace (Bota et al, 2014 ), the tempo of the development of new technologies and new strategies to study the brain can be extraordinarily increased giving us cause for optimism.…”

The anatomical problem posed by brain complexity and size: a potential solution

Over the years the field of neuroanatomy has evolved considerably but unraveling the extraordinary structural and functional complexity of the brain seems to be an unattainable goal, partly due to the fact that it is only possible to obtain an imprecise connection matrix of the brain. The reasons why reaching such a goal appears almost impossible to date is discussed here, together with suggestions of how we could overcome this anatomical problem by establishing new methodologies to study the brain and by promoting interdisciplinary collaboration. Generating a realistic computational model seems to be the solution rather than attempting to fully reconstruct the whole brain or a particular brain region.
