Here we utilize these datasets to examine physical properties of the structure of the brain using techniques from statistical physics. We demonstrate that the physical structure of the brain displays features associated with structural criticality in physical systems, including long-range correlations and fractal properties. We show that the associated scaling exponents are consistent across the brains investigated, indicating potential structural universality in the brain.
