Integrative Synaptic Mechanisms in the Caudal Ganglion of the Crayfish
A study of activity recorded with intracellular micropipettes was undertaken in the caudal abdominal ganglion of the crayfish in order to gain information about central fiber to fiber synaptic mechanisms. This synaptic system has well developed integrative properties. Excitatory post-synaptic potentials can be graded, and synaptic potentials from different inputs can sum to initiate spike disch...
متن کاملTowards constructing an Integrative, Multi-Level Model for Cognition: The Function of Semantic Networks
Integrated approaches try to connect different constructs in different theories and reinterpret them using a common conceptual framework. In this research, using the concept of processing levels, an integrated, three-level model of the cognitive systems has been proposed and evaluated. Processing levels are divided into three categories of Feature-Oriented, Semantic and Conceptual Level based o...
متن کاملMechanisms of Spatial Cognition: Behavioral Experiments in Virtual Environments
The study of spatial cognition in psychology and cognitive neuroscience aims at identifying the neural and computational mechanisms underlying spatial behaviors such as homing (returning to the starting point of an excursion),wayfinding,or pointing to invisible targets from memory. As always in the empirical sciences, minimal, or parsimonious explanations are sought that make no unnecessary ass...
متن کاملSpatial cognition: Behavioral competences, neural mechanisms, and evolutionary scaling
Zusammenfassung. Raumkognition ist eine kognitive Fähigkeit, die relativ früh im Verlauf der Evolution entstand. Sie eignet sich daher besonders zur Untersuchung der Evolution von stereotypem hin zu kognitivem Verhalten. Der vorliegende Aufsatz definiert Kognition mit Hilfe der Komplexität des Verhaltens. Dieser Ansatz erlaubt die Frage nach den Mechanismen der Kognition, gerade so, wie die Neu...
متن کاملSpatial Cognition, Spatial Perception
“Where am I? Where am I going? How do I get there?” These are the questions on the minds of Spatial Cognition, Spatial Perception’s authors. And since this reviewer has chosen to write his review on location in a remote and unfamiliar city while traveling for a conference, such questions are on my mind as well. As my enormous human prefrontal cortex and conveniently opposable thumbs allow me to...
