The digital twin in neuroscience: from theory to tailored therapy.

🤖 Plain-English Summary

Digital twins enable simulation, comprehensive analysis and predictions, as virtual representations of physical systems. Malabou emphasizes the brain's dual capacity for adaptive and destructive plasticity.

🔑 Key Findings

• They are also finding increasing interest and application in the healthcare sector, with a particular focus on digital twins of the brain.
• We discuss how digital twins in neuroscience enable the modeling of brain functions and pathology as they offer an in-silico approach to studying the brain and illustrating the complex relationships between brain network dynamics and related functions.
• To showcase the capabilities of digital twinning in neuroscience we demonstrate how the impact of brain tumors on the brain's physical structures and functioning can be modeled in relation to the philosophical concept of plasticity.
