Abstract:

"The human brain exists in a perpetual dialogue between its physical architecture and the dynamic patterns that give rise to thought and behavior. Understanding this dialogue—how anatomical connections shape neural activity, and how function adapts within structural constraints—represents one of neuroscience's most fundamental challenges. This thesis addresses this question by integrating physics, statistics, and neuroscience, revealing that structure-function coupling is not a fixed property but a dynamic relationship that varies across spatial scales, evolves over time, and adapts to cognitive context."
