2009 Special Issue: Discrete combinatorial circuits emerging in neural networks: A mechanism for rules of grammar in the human brain?
TLDR
It is demonstrated that networks incorporating relevant features of neuroanatomical connectivity and neuronal function give rise to discrete neuronal circuits that store combinatorial information and exhibit a function similar to elementary rules of grammar.About:

Neural Syntax: Cell Assemblies, Synapsembles, and Readers
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that cell assemblies are best understood in light of their output product, as detected by "reader-actuator" mechanisms, and it is suggested that the hierarchical organization of cell assemblies may be regarded as a neural syntax.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active perception: sensorimotor circuits as a cortical basis for language
TL;DR: Data show that language comprehension benefits from frontocentral action systems, indicating that action and perception circuits are interdependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
How neurons make meaning: brain mechanisms for embodied and abstract-symbolic semantics
TL;DR: Four semantic mechanisms are proposed and spelt out at the level of neuronal circuits: referential semantics, which establishes links between symbols and the objects and actions they are used to speak about; combinatorial semantics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auditory processing that leads to conscious perception: A unique window to central auditory processing opened by the mismatch negativity and related responses
TL;DR: This revised model is mainly based on the mismatch negativity (MMN) and N1 indices of automatic processing, the processing negativity (PN) index of selective attention, and their magnetoencephalographic and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) equivalents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural reuse of action perception circuits for language, concepts and communication.
TL;DR: A review of experimental data evaluates predictions of the APC model and alternative theories, also providing detailed discussion of some seemingly contradictory findings.

Aspects of the Theory of Syntax
TL;DR: Generative grammars as theories of linguistic competence as discussed by the authors have been used as a theory of performance for language learning. But they have not yet been applied to the problem of language modeling.

Finding Structure in Time
TL;DR: A proposal along these lines first described by Jordan (1986) which involves the use of recurrent links in order to provide networks with a dynamic memory and suggests a method for representing lexical categories and the type/token distinction is developed.
Book
The Organization of Behavior: A Neuropsychological Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the first stage of perception: growth of the assembly, the phase sequence, and the problem of Motivational Drift, which is the line of attack.

Interneurons of the neocortical inhibitory system.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the organizing principles that govern the diversity of inhibitory interneurons and their circuits.
