Cortical Columns and Planning Models
نویسنده
چکیده
The cortical column hypothesis is described along with backing evidence. Proposals for the functional properties of columns are reviewed, namely those based on construction of columnar models and networks of columns. An attempt is made to tie this knowledge into that of an existing model of planning, the TELOS model.

Excitation/Inhibition Patterns in a System of Coupled Cortical Columns
We study how excitation and inhibition are distributed mesoscopically in small brain regions, by means of a computational model of coupled cortical columns described by neural mass models. Two cortical columns coupled bidirectionally through both excitatory and inhibitory connections can spontaneously organize in a regime in which one of the columns is purely excitatory and the other is purely ...
متن کاملRules for the cortical map of ocular dominance and orientation columns
Three computational rules are sufficient to generate model cortical maps that simulate the interrelated structure of cortical ocular dominance and orientation columns: a noise input. a spatial band passfilter. and competitive normalization across all feature dimensions. The data of Blasdel from optical imaging experiments reveal cortical map fractures, singularities. and linear zones that are f...
متن کاملReceptive Fields and Maps in the Visual Cortex: Models of Ocular Dominance and Orientation Columns
under the title \Models of Ocular Dominance and Orientation Columns." Reused by permission. ABSTRACT The formation of ocular dominance and orientation columns in the mammalian visual cortex is brieey reviewed. Correlation-based models for their development are then discussed, beginning with the models of Von der Malsburg. For the case of semi-linear models, model behavior is well understood: co...
متن کاملLaminar development of receptive fields, maps and columns in visual cortex: the coordinating role of the subplate.
How is development of cortical maps in V1 coordinated across cortical layers to form cortical columns? Previous neural models propose how maps of orientation (OR), ocular dominance (OD), and related properties develop in V1. These models show how spontaneous activity, before eye opening, combined with correlation learning and competition, can generate maps similar to those found in vivo. These ...
متن کاملThalamo-cortical interactions modeled by weakly connected oscillators: could the brain use FM radio principles?
We consider all models of the thalamo-cortical system that satisfy the following two assumptions: (1) each cortical column is an autonomous oscillator; (2) connections between cortical columns and the thalamus are weak. Our goal is to deduce from these assumptions general principles of thalamo-cortical interactions that are independent of the equations describing the system. We find that the ex...
