Organization of a Large-Scale Cortical Network
Abstract
This research program has been directed at discovering neurobiological features (cell specializations, activity patterns in collection of neurons, circuit design features) essential to the encoding, organizing, and utilizing recognition memories by networks in mammalian cortex. Three levels of work have been involved: 1) physiological and anatomical analyses of specific, well defined examples of telencephalic networks; 2) translation of the neurobiological results into computer simulations of the networks; 3) testing of the physiological and behavioral predictions of the computer models. It is anticipated that the results of the research will provide the bases of formal hypotheses regarding the links between cortical properties and computational operations and provide guidelines for the design of novel devices capable of dealing with the difficult computational problems presented by real world environments.
