Covariant formulation of the brain’s emerging Ohm’s law

It is essential to establish the validity of Ohm’s law in any reference frame if we aim to implement a relativistic approach to brain dynamics based on a Lorentz covariant microscopic response relation. Here, we obtain a covariant formulation of Ohm’s law for an electromagnetic field tensor of any o...

Sumario:It is essential to establish the validity of Ohm’s law in any reference frame if we aim to implement a relativistic approach to brain dynamics based on a Lorentz covariant microscopic response relation. Here, we obtain a covariant formulation of Ohm’s law for an electromagnetic field tensor of any order derived from the emergent conductivity tensor in highly non-isotropic systems, employing the bidomain theory framework within brain tissue cells. With this, we offer a different perspective that we hope will lead to understanding the close relationship between brain dynamics and a seemingly ordinary yet profoundly crucial element: space.
