Synchronization in the Hippocampus as a Neural Principle Representing Contextual Information
نویسنده
چکیده
The contexts in cognition and behavioral situation are required for the establishment of the synthetic logic. In this paper, we show that the hippocampus represents the contextual information as spatio-temporal pattern of neural activities generated by synchronization. The information structure in the brain to enable the operation of synthetic logic is elucidated based on the concept of Gestalt cycle and it relevance to hippocampal function. It is concluded that the circulation loop in the brain including the hippocampus and cortices provides the structure necessary for synthetic logic. Synchronization in multi-hierarchical system is proposed to be an important neural principle to evaluate the consistency of the circulation loop in such a hierarchical system,

Linear matrix inequality approach for synchronization of chaotic fuzzy cellular neural networks with discrete and unbounded distributed delays based on sampled-data control
In this paper, linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach for synchronization of chaotic fuzzy cellular neural networks (FCNNs) with discrete and unbounded distributed delays based on sampled-data controlis investigated. Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional combining with the input delay approach as well as the free-weighting matrix approach are employed to derive several sufficient criteria in terms of...
متن کاملA neural network model of hippocampal – striatal – prefrontal interactions in contextual conditioning OF Matthew
Article history: Accepted 20 June 2007 RE CT ED PR The hippocampus is thought to be critical for encoding contextually bound memories and setting the context for ongoing behavior. However, the mechanisms by which the hippocampal–cortical system controls behavior are poorly understood. We propose a computational model in which the hippocampus exerts contextual control over motivated behavior by ...
متن کاملA neural network model of hippocampal-striatal-prefrontal interactions in contextual conditioning.
The hippocampus is thought to be critical for encoding contextually bound memories and setting the context for ongoing behavior. However, the mechanisms by which the hippocampal-cortical system controls behavior are poorly understood. We propose a computational model in which the hippocampus exerts contextual control over motivated behavior by gating prefrontal cortex inputs to the nucleus accu...
متن کاملRole of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in amygdalo-hippocampal interactions and salience determination of contextual fear memory.
Evidence suggests that the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is an important molecular constituent of adaptive and maladaptive circuit (re-)organization in the central nervous system. Here, we further investigate its putative involvement in amygdala and hippocampus functions during context fear memory formation. Using laser capture microdissection and quantitative RT-PCR, we show high NCAM m...
متن کاملOn the role of fronto-striatal neural synchronization processes for response inhibition--evidence from ERP phase-synchronization analyses in pre-manifest Huntington's disease gene mutation carriers.
Fronto-striatal loops play an important role action selection processes, especially when discordant sensory and contextual information has to be integrated to allow adequate selection of actions. Neurodegeneration weakens neural inter-connectivity, which compromises the precision of neural synchronization processes. Yet, it is widely unknown how far changes in the precision of neural synchroniz...
