Evolutionary Origins and Principles of the Organization of Biological Information Systems

The main challenge of the present time vital for advancement in the fields of designing new generations of information systems and in the problems of neuroinduced pathologies correction is the need to understand the principles underlying brain activity. The conducted studies are vastly scattered, being carried out both in different fields and on different conceptual and technological levels. This disparity contributes to the fact that the concepts developed more than 50–100 years ago are still dominating modern neuroscience. The article attempts to form a new paradigm, based on an understanding of the physical essence and evolutionary roots of the formation of the basic properties of the brain as a biological information system. Since without the creation of a new integrative concept, efforts and resources aimed at identifying the principles of the functioning of the brain will continue to be of low productive.
