Comment on Rat brains provide even more evidence our brains operate near tipping point

Ha, interesting timing! This has been my personal research topic this week, and I've been digging through the literature trying to get a sense of how thorough these experimental results are, and the theoretical underpinnings of neuronal criticality.

Here's a very nice (slightly dated, 2012) review of the subject [1]. With it's conversational tone, it's quite a breezy read, even for non-experts. For those who are jaded of power laws and criticality being bandied about willy-nilly, this article nicely digs a little deeper.
