hardcover. BIC Classification: PSAN. Dimension: 235 x 155. Weight in Grams: 1116.
Biological structures can be seen as collections of special devices coordinated by a matrix of organization. Devices are dif?cult to evolve and are meticulously conserved through the eons. Organization is a ?uid medium capable of rapid adaptation. The brain carries organizational ?uidity to the extreme. In its context, typical devices are ion channels, transmitters and receptors, signaling pathways, whole individual neurons or speci?c circuit patterns. The border line between what is to be called device and what a feat of organization is ?owing, given that in time organized s- systems solidify into devices. In spite of the neurosciences’ traditional concentration ... Read more

Reviews for Computational Maps in the Visual Cortex
From the reviews: "An increasingly important technique used by basic scientists to understand brain development and function is theoretical/computational modeling. … Computational Maps in the Visual Cortex provides a good review of this area, though strongly emphasizing the models developed over the past several years by Miikkulainen’s group in the Computer Science department at the ...
