Beyond Molecular Codes: Simple Rules to Wire Complex Brains
Molecular codes, like postal zip codes, are generally considered a robust way to ensure the specificity of neuronal target selection. However, a code capable of unambiguously generating complex neural circuits is difficult to conceive. Here, we re-examine the notion of molecular codes in the light of developmental algorithms. We explore how molecules and mechanisms that have been considered par...
متن کاملComplex Networks from Simple Rules
Complex networks are all around us, and they can be generated by simple mechanisms. Understanding what kinds of networks can be produced by following simple rules is therefore of great importance. This issue is investigated by studying the dynamics of extremely simple systems where a “writer” moves around a network, modifying it in a way that depends upon the writer’s surroundings. Each vertex ...
متن کاملSimple Ecological Rules Yield Complex Agent Networks
In complex natural systems (such as ecological systems) it is common for those studying the macro-dynamics of systems to aim to describe, as simply as possible, the interactions between individuals occupying different niches in a system and to validate these by studying whether they account for the complex network of relationships observed in the actual system. We explore a similar principle ap...
متن کاملSimple Agents Benefit Only from Simple Brains
In order to answer the general question: “What does a simple agent with a limited life-time require for constructing a useful representation of the environment?” we propose a robot platform including the simplest probabilistic sensory and motor layers. Then we use the platform as a test-bed for evaluation of the navigational capabilities of the robot with different “brains”. We claim that a pro...
متن کاملConstructing Complex Brains
The World-Wide-Mind (WWM) is an architecture that facilitates the construction of complex “minds” (software solutions) for virtual agents in online virtual environments (software problems). These complex minds are constructed by re-using third party sub-minds remotely through the world wide web by hosting both the mind and environment online. Until now there has been no successful language inde...
