Proposal for a basic law of neural communication: response = a(stimulus)(0.5) + b.

A basic law of neural communication is proposed to be: response = a(stimulus)0.5 + b, whether referring to operation of a particular nervous system as a whole or to portions thereof, from receptors to effectors. This differs from previous formulations in that the exponent is set at a constant value of 0.5 rather than being considered to vary from one instance to another. Supporting data is presented.
