The neural systems' electric activities are fundamental for the phenomenology of consciousness. Sensory perception triggers an information/energy exchange with the environment, but the brain's recurrent activations maintain a resting state with constant parameters. Therefore, perception forms a closed thermodynamic cycle.

The neuron was selected from a large pool of intracellularly labelled cells based on the large cell body, numerous spine-free dendrites with an overall interneuron morphology. However, the axon gave off long-range axons up to 2.

- The study introduces a novel "mirror" technique that uses immunohistochemistry correlated with electron microscopy to map synaptic inputs on dendrites of identified interneurons, preserving tissue structure.
- This approach enables detailed quantitative analysis of synaptic parameters across entire dendrites, enhancing our understanding of synaptic integration.
- Sample data illustrates the method's effectiveness in assessing synaptic coverage, distribution of different types of synapses, and specific morphometric characteristics related to presynaptic structures.
Article Synopsis
- There is an expectation that classical physics laws can explain biological processes, especially in the brain, by examining energy and information exchange through emotional responses.
- The study employs thermodynamic principles, particularly the Carnot cycle, to analyze how different emotional states—positive and negative—impact the brain’s energy dynamics and mental energy.
- The findings suggest that the mathematical framework of the Carnot cycles could help solidify psychology as a scientific discipline by linking emotional states to their respective energetic and entropic consequences.
