Self-organization of local cortical circuits and cortical orientation maps: a nonlinear Hebbian model of the visual cortex with adaptive lateral couplings.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A nonlinear, recurrent neural network model of the visual cortex is presented. Orientation maps emerge from adaptable afferent as well as plastic local intracortical circuits driven by random input stimuli. Lateral coupling structures self-organize into DOG profiles under the influence of pronounced emerging cortical activity blobs. The model's simplified architecture and features are modeled to largely mimik neurobiological findings.

An incremental Hebbian learning model of the primary visual cortex with lateral plasticity and real input patterns.
We present a simplified binocular neural network model of the primary visual cortex with separate ON/OFF-pathways and modifiable afferent as well as intracortical synaptic couplings. Random as well as natural image stimuli drive the weight adaptation which follows Hebbian learning rules stabilized with constant norm and constant sum constraints. The simulations consider the development of orien...
متن کاملA Neural Network Model for the Self-Organization of the Cortical Grating Cells
A neural network model with incremental Hebbian learning of afferent and lateral synaptic couplings is proposed,which simulates the activity-dependent self-organization of grating cells in upper layers of striate cortex. These cells, found in areas V1 and V2 of the visual cortex of monkeys, respond vigorously and exclusively to bar gratings of a preferred orientation and periodicity. Response b...
متن کاملGeneralized spin models for coupled cortical feature maps obtained by coarse graining correlation based synaptic learning rules.
We derive generalized spin models for the development of feedforward cortical architecture from a Hebbian synaptic learning rule in a two layer neural network with nonlinear weight constraints. Our model takes into account the effects of lateral interactions in visual cortex combining local excitation and long range effective inhibition. Our approach allows the principled derivation of developm...
متن کاملTopographic Receptive Fields and Patterned Lateral Interaction in a Self-Organizing Model of the Primary Visual Cortex
This article presents a self-organizing neural network model for the simultaneous and cooperative development of topographic receptive fields and lateral interactions in cortical maps. Both afferent and lateral connections adapt by the same Hebbian mechanism in a purely local and unsupervised learning process. Afferent input weights of each neuron self-organize into hill-shaped profiles, recept...
