[net.bio] Complexity Theory in

gknight@ut-ngp.UUCP (gknight) (02/02/86)

I have on several recent occasions come across statements such as
the following (by Edwin R. Lewis, Berkeley):

     There can be no doubt that the future of biology is
     complexity; the intellectual tools that will place one
     at the frontiers of that science will be those aimed
     at dealing with complexity.

Given my specific interest in neurobiology (and neuroscience in
general), can anyone provide specific examples or references that
would illustrate Lewis' hypothesis?

If you will send replies by mail directly to me, I will post a
summary to the nets.

                          Thanks,
