Parallel processing in the nervous system: evidence from sensory maps.
Perhaps the clearest organizing principle in sensory systems is the existence of maps, in which there is an orderly and systematic layout of the stimulus space on a two-dimensional array of neurons. Usually, the layout of the stimulus on the receptor sheet is reproduced so that neurons that innervate adjacent sites on the receptor sheet project to adjacent sites in the central map. Thus, in the...
متن کامل1ms Sensory-Motor Fusion System with Hierarchical Parallel Processing Architecture
There is a growing interest in sensorymotor integration for realizing new behavior of intelligent robots and there must be some processing architectures integrated with the detection function. When viewed from the system as a whole, a parallel processing architecture is produced in which a part of the processing is distributed among the sensors. As a result of this, it is strongly required that...
متن کاملADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...

متن کاملTopographic maps are fundamental to sensory processing.
In all mammals, much of the neocortex consists of orderly representations or maps of receptor surfaces that are typically topographic at a global level, while being modular at the local level. These representations appear to emerge in development as a result of a few interacting factors, and different aspects of brain maps may be developmentally linked. As a result, evolutionary selection for s...
