New study reveals brain’s fractal-like structure near phase transition, a finding that may be universal across species

When a magnet is heated up, it reaches a critical point where it loses magnetization. Called “criticality,” this point of high complexity is reached when a physical object is transitioning smoothly from one phase into the next. When a magnet is heated up, it reaches a critical point where it loses magnetization.
