Abstract

Understanding at least some of the functioning of our own brain is certainly an extraordinary scientific and intellectual challenge and it requires the combined effort of many different disciplines. Each individual group can grasp only a limited set of aspects, but its particular methods, questions and results can influence, stimulate and hopefully enrich the thoughts of others. This is the frame in which the following contribution, written by theoretical physicists, should be seen
