A Computational Model of the Cerebral Cortex
Our current understanding of the primate cerebral cortex (neocortex) and in particular the posterior, sensory association cortex has matured to a point where it is possible to develop a family of graphical models that capture the structure, scale and power of the neocortex for purposes of associative recall, sequence prediction and pattern completion among other functions. Implementing such mod...
متن کاملElastic instabilities in a layered cerebral cortex: A revised axonal tension model for cortex folding
We model the viscoelasticity of the cerebral cortex as a layered material with bending energy along the layers and elastic energy between them in both planar and polar geometries. The cortex is also subjected to axons pulling from the underlying white matter. Above a critical threshold force, a “flat” cortex configuration becomes unstable and periodic unduluations emerge, i.e. a buckling instab...
متن کاملBrain size and folding of the human cerebral cortex.
During evolution, the mammalian cerebral cortex has expanded disproportionately to brain volume. As a consequence, most mammals with large brains have profusely convoluted cortices. The human cortex is a good example of this trend, however, given the large variability in human brain size, it is not clear how cortical folding varies from the smallest to the largest brains. We analyzed cortical f...
متن کاملRole of radial glial cells in cerebral cortex folding
Radial glial cells play key roles during cerebral cortex development, as primary stem and progenitor cells giving rise-directly or indirectly-to neurons and glia, but also acting as scaffold for the cerebral cortex architecture and migrating neurons. Recent work led to the discovery of novel types of radial glial cells with key roles in gyrification, the folding of the mammalian cerebral cortex...
متن کاملA Computational Model of Prefrontal Cortex Function
David Servan-Schreiber Dept. of Psychiatry Univ . of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, PA 15232 Accumulating data from neurophysiology and neuropsychology have suggested two information processing roles for prefrontal cortex (PFC): 1) short-term active memory; and 2) inhibition. We present a new behavioral task and a computational model which were developed in parallel. The task was developed to probe bot...
