Millions of years separated the formation of the first sedimentary rocks on our Earth from the emergence of the central nervous system. Some aspects of these very disparate systems have recently yielded to the language and methods of physics: The porous structure of sedimentary rocks can be modeled as a fractal, and neural networks, which provide models for understanding some simple aspects of the nervous system, may be regarded as dynamical systems. By collecting in a special issue of
