TLDR
An hypothesis is developed in respect of the generation of modular patterns in relation to memory and its retrieval that is based on the conjunction hypothesis of Marr, which leads to concepts of modular patterning that are not at variance with the conjectures of Mountcastle, Sperry and Szentagothai.About:

The meaning of representation in animal memory
TL;DR: A metatheoretical view of representation is developed and Objections to the use of this concept in explanations of animal behavior, based on the claim that it is indeterminate and on behaviorist considerations of parsimony can be answered.

1994 Special Issue: Design and evolution of modular neural network architectures
TL;DR: A series of simulations and analyses with modular neural networks are presented, suggesting a number of design principles in the form of explicit ways in which neural modules can cooperate in recognition tasks that may supplement recent accounts of the relation between structure and function in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
The initiation of voluntary movements by the supplementary motor area.
TL;DR: The hypothesis is formulated that in all voluntary movements the initial neuronal event is in the supplementary motor areas (SMA) of both cerebral hemispheres and that the SMA has an ‘inventory’ and the ‘addresses’ of stored subroutines of all learnt motor programs.

Single units and sensation: a neuron doctrine for perceptual psychology?
TL;DR: To understand nervous function one needs to look at interactions at a cellular level, rather than either a more macroscopic or microscopic level, because behaviour depends upon the organized pattern of these intercellular interactions.

The 'module-concept' in cerebral cortex architecture.
TL;DR: An attempt is made to bring earlier circuit models of primary sensory cortical areas into better line with recent observations on (1) the distribution of excitatory feedback connexions in cortical tissue volume, and (2) putative inhibitory interneurons and the Distribution of inhibition in well defined space modules.
