Development of retinotopy and ocular dominance by soft topology-preserving maps and elastic nets: Deriving one class of the models from another
نویسنده
چکیده
The batch version of soft topology-preserving map producing retinotopy and ocular dominance in visual cortex is proven to be reduced to the elastic net. This verifies numerous results of numerical simulations described in the literature demonstrating similarities of neural patterns produced by lateral and elastic synaptic interactions.

Trajectory decomposition for unsupervised learning neural models
In this paper, use the trajectory decomposition technique to rigorously prove the similarity between different neural models. First, we derive the free energy function for an unsupervised net of stochastic neurons with lateral interactions. The temperature incorporated in this function serves as control parameter in the annealing schedule. Then, we consider the incremental and batch modes of le...
متن کاملArbitrary Elastic Topologies and Ocular Dominance
The elastic net, which has been used to produce accounts of the formation of topology preserving maps and ocular dominance columns (OD), embodies a nearest neighbour topology. A Hebbian account of OD is not so restricted – and indeed makes the prediction that the width of the columns depends on the nature of the (more general) neighbourhood relations. Elastic and Hebbian accounts have recently ...
متن کاملFunctional retinotopy of monkey visual cortex.
The operations of primary visual cortex generate continuous representations of orientation, ocular dominance, and retinotopy that, to fit in two dimensions, organize at separate but overlapping scales (e.g., 20-500 microm, 200 microm to 5 mm, and 2-33 mm). Where their scales overlap, these organizations interact; iso-orientation contours cross ocular dominance columns at right angles, and ocula...
متن کاملInteraction among Ocularity, Retinotopy and On-center/off- Center Pathways during Development
The development of projections from the retinas to the cortex is mathematically analyzed according to the previously proposed thermodynamic formulation of the self-organization of neural networks. Three types of submodality included in the visual afferent pathways are assumed in two models: model (A), in which the ocularity and retinotopy are considered separately, and model (B), in which on-ce...
متن کاملAlteration of visual input results in a coordinated reorganization of multiple visual cortex maps.
In the adult visual cortex, multiple feature maps exist and have characteristic spatial relationships with one another. The relationships can be reproduced by "dimension-reduction" computational models, suggesting that the principles of continuity and coverage may underlie cortical map organization. However, the mechanisms responsible for establishing these relationships are unknown. We explore...
