摘要
The basic functioning of the central nervous system is based on the opening and closing of ionic channels in the membranes of neurons. The behavior of ionic channels is considered to be a random process with an exponential probability distribution function. The central limit theorem implies that the mean of the sum of random variables generates a distribution in which the new variable tends to be normally distributed. The theorem implicitly implies that randomness can be embedded in a certain probability distribution but does not disappear. The present report will explore the possible implications for the functioning of nervous system and behavior of the constituent neural randomness. The possible functionality of "noise" to increase the exploratory space of nervous and behavioral systems will be considered.
