Studies in Neural Networks
Abstract
Research performed under this grant centered on the computations done by biological networks of nerve cells, and on the theoretical and engineering of neurobiological computation. The biological studies were in greatest part theoretical analysis of the olfactory (smell) system. This is a very old and simple sensory system, and is highly conserved. Animals as different as snails and humans have strong anatomical similarities in their olfactory systems. In addition, the basic architecture of much of old cortex is claimed to be related to that of olfactory cortex, so understandings gained in the olfactory system are potentially applicable to other areas of brain.
