Connection between Noise-Induced Symmetry Breaking and an Information-Decoding Function for Intracellular Networks

摘要

The biological function of noise-induced symmetry breaking (MSB) is still unclear even though it may potentially occur in noisy intracellular systems. In this work, I demonstrate that information decoding from a noisy signal is a potential biological function of NISB by revealing that MSB naturally emerges from an optimal information-decoding dynamics and that several intracellular networks can be identified with the information-decoding dynamics. I also propose a mean first passage time profile as a way to experimentally identify MSB.
