Neural wiring optimization.
Combinatorial network optimization theory concerns minimization of connection costs among interconnected components in systems such as electronic circuits. As an organization principle, similar wiring minimization can be observed at various levels of nervous systems, invertebrate and vertebrate, including primate, from placement of the entire brain in the body down to the subcellular level of n...
متن کاملSelf-Wiring of Neural Networks
The proper functioning of the nervous system depends critically on the intricate network of synaptic connections that are generated during the system development. During the network formation, the growth cones migrate through the embryonic environment to their targets using chemical communication. A major obstacle in the elucidation of fundamental principles underlying this self-wiring is the c...
متن کاملSynesthesia strengthens sound-symbolic cross-modal correspondences.
Synesthesia is a phenomenon in which an experience in one domain is accompanied by an involuntary secondary experience in another, unrelated domain; in classical synesthesia, these associations are arbitrary and idiosyncratic. Cross-modal correspondences refer to universal associations between seemingly unrelated sensory features, e.g., auditory pitch and visual size. Some argue that these phen...
متن کاملNeural correlates of induced grapheme-color synesthesia
Synesthesia is a perceptual anomaly where stimulation of one sensory modality elicits sensation of a concurrent stimulus from another modality. A previous study has shown that it is possible to establish such an alteration of perception in nonsynesthetes by means of hypnotic suggestion. We tried to extend these results to gain further insight in the underlying neural processes using magnetoence...
متن کاملNeural networks of colored sequence synesthesia.
Synesthesia is a condition in which normal stimuli can trigger anomalous associations. In this study, we exploit synesthesia to understand how the synesthetic experience can be explained by subtle changes in network properties. Of the many forms of synesthesia, we focus on colored sequence synesthesia, a form in which colors are associated with overlearned sequences, such as numbers and letters...
