TLDR
It is found that, as has long been suspected by cortical neuroanatomists, the same basic laminar and tangential organization of the excitatory neurons of the neocortex is evident wherever it has been sought.Abstract:
We explore the extent to which neocortical circuits generalize, i.e., to what extent can neocortical neurons and the circuits they form be considered as canonical? We find that, as has long been suspected by cortical neuroanatomists, the same basic laminar and tangential organization of the excitatory neurons of the neocortex is evident wherever it has been sought. Similarly, the inhibitory neurons show characteristic morphology and patterns of connections throughout the neocortex. We offer a simple model of cortical processing that is consistent with the major features of cortical circuits: The superficial layer neurons within local patches of cortex, and within areas, cooperate to explore all possible interpretations of different cortical input and cooperatively select an interpretation consistent with their various cortical and subcortical inputs.read more

Neural network learning of optimal Kalman prediction and control
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how optimal Kalman prediction and control can be learned and executed by a recurrent neural network composed of linear-response nodes, using as input only a stream of noisy measurement data.

Developmental Origin of Patchy Axonal Connectivity in the Neocortex: A Computational Model
TL;DR: It is found that adjustment of a single parameter yields the intriguing linear relationship between average patch diameter and interpatch spacing that has been observed experimentally over many cortical areas and species.

Physiological Foundations of Neural Signals
TL;DR: Knowledge of the physiological properties giving rise to neural signals is essential for better interpreting the neural correlates of a particular cognitive function, and reconciling results obtained across different recording modalities.

A design of HTM spatial pooler for face recognition using memristor-CMOS hybrid circuits
TL;DR: This paper proposes a memristor-CMOS circuit design of spatial pooler and exploits memristors capabilities for emulating the synapses, where the strength of the weights is represented by the state of the Memristor.

All competition is not alike: Neural mechanisms for resolving underdetermined and prepotent competition
TL;DR: This work directly contrast underdetermined and prepotent competition within the same task (verb generation) for the first time, allowing localization of the neural substrates supporting the resolution of these two types of competition.

Receptive fields, binocular interaction and functional architecture in the cat's visual cortex
David H. Hubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
TL;DR: This method is used to examine receptive fields of a more complex type and to make additional observations on binocular interaction and this approach is necessary in order to understand the behaviour of individual cells, but it fails to deal with the problem of the relationship of one cell to its neighbours.

Distributed Hierarchical Processing in the Primate Cerebral Cortex
TL;DR: A summary of the layout of cortical areas associated with vision and with other modalities, a computerized database for storing and representing large amounts of information on connectivity patterns, and the application of these data to the analysis of hierarchical organization of the cerebral cortex are reported on.

Neuromorphic electronic systems
TL;DR: It is shown that for many problems, particularly those in which the input data are ill-conditioned and the computation can be specified in a relative manner, biological solutions are many orders of magnitude more effective than those using digital methods.
