Complex Networks: A Universal Approach in Physiology?
In human beings the brain, the system of organs, or genes, the cardiovascular system and various others are composed of various subsystems, which are interacting through several mechanisms. Therefore, their description via complex networks looks appropriate. In this lecture first, some basics of complex networks are given, then potentials and limits of their applications to physiological systems are presented and finally challenging problems are discussed.
