Age-related differences in functional connectivity during scene encoding by Leow, Dayton Wei Yang

“…The functional network underlying episodic encoding involves both the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and medial temporal lobe (MTL).1 Episodic encoding differs in terms of the stimuli and the types of encoding.2. Past neuroimaging studies have found both the parahippocampus in the MTL and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) in the PFC to be activated for scene encoding.3 In addition, when scenes are encoded based on its meaningfulness (i.e. relational encoding), the hippocampus will be activated for relational binding of the stimuli.4. …”

Thermodynamics of complexity and pattern manipulation by Vedral, Vlatko, Gu, Mile, Garner, Andrew J. P., Thompson, Jayne

“…We derive the ultimate limits of this heat dissipation and show that it is generally nonzero and connected with the pattern's intrinsic crypticity—a complexity theoretic quantity that captures the puzzling difference between the amount of information the pattern's past behavior reveals about its future and the amount one needs to communicate about this past to optimally predict the future.…”
